Thats pretty cool that you know what you want to do for work when you leave school. I had no idea. Just remember that the outdoor guiding/ education industry has a very high turnover rate for staff. Most staff (approx 85%) only stay for 2 years then move on to another career due to the lack of social life, unsteady income, long days (consistently 14 hr days) and poor pay rates. As a challenge go and find someone who is still consistently working in the field after 3 years and talk to them about it.
The GREAT part about the job is that you get to work outdoors ( A new office everyday), you meet awesome people, have large amounts of time to travel in the off season and your Australian skills and Quals are well respected the world over (everyone loves an Aussie) This can have you raft guiding in Canada on the Ottawa river, Guiding at Zion or Joshua tree in the States, Leading treks through Peru,sea kayaking on Fitzroy island or any other great activity in the world.
