I’m in a tight situation right now. I can either go to college for outdoor skills (climbing, survival, leadership, ecology, etc). I absolutely love them and I wouldn’t even need a college loan, but it would be risky when it comes to a job. I could make $50 a day or up to $500 dollars a day. The average is around $35k a year and that includes housing and sometimes food, but you are always moving (I don’t mind this as I don’t plan on starting a family) Another thing to consider is if I get hurt, I’ll be out of a job. The next option would be going in for computers where I would need a college loan (around $50,000). I enjoy computers and wouldn’t mind programming them, but I despise sitting in front of them all day. I would be making at least $75k a year, but probably around $90k after six or so years and around $50k starting salary minimum. What do you think is better option? Risk but love, or secure and enjoy some aspects and despise others?
