IT: No time for good climbing :(
Actually it aint that bad.....1 out of 3 Months I am on call and can't go that far. But fortunetly there is some nice crag's 20 minutes from my house.
And the other 2 out of 3 Months aren't bad. It doesn't matter if my phone works so I get out a little more. :)

Is there ever enough time??
I have a pretty good job right now working with the governemnt on Sydneys water supply. I am probably working the least hours possible for a full time engineer and can get to the crags afterwork in summer and only work a 9 day fortnight so a few full midweek days here and there as well. Plenty of far better jobs than this though but I'm not complaining.

Yea, what he said. Go to grad school, I have had more free time, got paid more to attend class and had a better time than as an undergrad, compareed to a real job, you have plenty o time to hits the walls.

IT = Information Technology = The company computer guy/gal 's.
Graduate students are often nominally reimbersed for the work that they do in a research environment at any university, but it is a whole lot like slave labor.

Being unemployed allows a very flexible schedule for climbing.

You could get a job with a construction crew or trades contractor (electrician, plumber, etc.). This would pay $7-$9 per hour and off in the evenings and weekends. Plenty of time for climbing that-a-way.
