After High school, I decided to be a full time climbers and did odd jobs to support myself along the way.

First thing was working for Curry Company to live and climb in Yosemite. Lasted about a year before I hit the road and find part-time jobs.

Eventually, started a guide service in TN and sold it. I decided that guiding wasn't good for my personal climbing. The best season to climb was my busiest work wise. Instead, I became a school teacher.

Now, I have a rewarding career with plenty of vacation time to climb too. I took one step further and work in American schools overseas (Consulate and embassy schools) I make good money and have plenty of climbing time.

What are some other careers that allow plenty of time to climb and are versatile location wise?

I have friends who are firemen and some registered nurses too. Both seem to offer good pay, time off, and easy to relocate with too.

Internet marketing/ website stuff. Can work anywhere. Create some websites that make money and then live off them, I did that for a while until i surfed too much and let my website lag.

you need to meet ANGRY cause he is the best example of a good climber with no Job.

Can you describe the job

Yes, come up with an idea to make money online, create a website that supports that idea. Its a bit easier if have a passion about whatever subject you are making a site about.

This site used to do well, now just ok: http://www.surfguidehawaii.com

Ive actually got about 30 different sites in different niches, surfing, insurance, dental plans, theres more...

Anyone want to help me/partner with me on one I never got off the ground? Had the idea never followedthrough, I'm Looking for guest posters to give trip reports and gear reviews: http://www.climbingenthusiast.com

This stuff is all self taught, by the way, there really is no college of online marketing. Just think up an idea for a websiteand figure out how to do it!

I'm in nursing school for exactly that reason. 3 days on, 4 days off. When the economy crashes I can work and get paid well. Anywhere in the world.

Right now it sucks, as I'm still in school and have no time to actually climb. My hands are soft like a baby's ass, but pretty soon I should be loving it.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to the paycheck with a comma.

How long is the schooling? Have you heard about the temporary assignments and traveling nurses?

Depends on the school, mine is an accelerated program that takes 16 months. Others take up to 3 years. And the travel nursing, that's one of the major reasons I'm doing it. They get paid more for the "inconvenience" of traveling.

If you are looking at schools my only suggestion is to get into an accredited BSN program whose accreditation is respected in most countries. Try to avoid ADN programs. The difference is a much deeper understanding of theory, and you can make huge advancements in your career if you so choose.

Hw many rental properties do you have?

I'm an outdoor guide. I've mostly been doing sea kayaking and canoeing or other soft stills of the sort. The benefit is, you get to work season to season with about a month or two of free time between each job, for travel. If you can manage to find these jobs in secluded areas, where you end up on trip most of the time, than you tend to accumulate a lot of extra cash for your time off during the shoulder season - less opportunities to spend it on beer I guess. I have a few friends who save as much as possible during their summer jobs and spend the winter months in a warmer country climbing.
Down side is you may not get as much opportunity to climb during work peroids... And no retirement benefits.
