Should I get a job?

I'm fucking stuck. I basically worked this summer/fall so that I could be set for winter. So I quit my job last month so that I could ski as much as I wanted without worrying about shit. But it's clearly not going to be a good year and I have nothing to do. I don't really have any friends so I have a lot more free time than I would like to admit.

So I could get a job but what if I get stuck working during the only good days of the year?
But at the same time I don't want to do nothing and just wait for snow. I have a lot of trips planned(totally about 4 weeks) so I don't know if I could find a job flexible enough for that.

I guess that's what it comes down to, flexibility. I have college and skiing and other obligations. So I don't know. Would it be a bad idea to get a job? I have just enough money to make it through this winter with rent, food, gas, but really nothing else. But I don't wanna miss out on skiing. Fuck. Help me NS.

Would I be stupid to drop out of school for the winter and go somewhere that does not suck and get a job there?

Dropping out in general shouldn't be your solution, transfer schools. Trust me, the earlier you finish school the higher quality of life you will have.

No you had the right idea about taking a semester off.

Take the semester off BUT go fuckin HAM at summer school and earn those credits right back before next fall even starts. Win-win you get to shred and you don't fall behind. Maybe even do something online while you are away and transfer those in.



2 downsides are 1. you might not want to move back and would want to spend the summer and stay wherever so be resolute that you will and will take at least 12 if not 15 credits in the summer and 2. you might move somewhere which looks to be bomb for snow and then it doesn't snow again until March while back home gets pounded.




If you move to Canada and one of the Western Canadian places like Banff or Whistler you won't even need a job it so fucking cheap with their dollar being completely worthless and the US crushing it. Stuff is going to cost about 60% of what it would in the states after the exchange rate. Highly recommend going north of the border right now where things cost monopoly money and not greenbacks. Going to Canada also means that you can't really stay there after April due to not wanting to get on Canadian Immigrations bad side either.
