>>1827246I did 2 years after school doing Outdoor Leadership and Management. Was heavy into whitewater kayaking, also qualified in rock, sea kayak, hiking and mountaineering. Rafted and (mainly) safety kayaked for a few years averaged about 300 days/year on water between work and play. Realised there was no financial future in it after seeing a senior guide fuck his shoulder and no other skills, got a real job.
Also a shit ton of friends drowned, I would have been next.
