So, the thought occurs to me - as it does to many - that maybe life isn't about the 9-5 grind with rushed weekends and a few measly weeks of leave a year. Especially if your job is just a job and its not what you are passionate about. But then methinks, if you going and become an outdoors guide, or a dirtbag or just work 4 days a week or 6 months of the year does it make you happy? Does it stop you being able to support a family. Is it a choice that can be worked for a lifetime or just a few years? Does it make you jaded toting whooping backpackers around the same 3 canyons or up the same 3 climbs?

Any success stories? Doesnt have to be a move to being an outdoors guide, just a change to something more lifestyle orientated. Any failures? I have a lot of inertia keeping me where I am so its hard to let go. Perhaps some inspiring anecdotes could help.
