Yes, but it doesn't pay well enough until I can get rid of my student loans. I worked as a whitewater rafting guide for summers while in college and have never felt so alive and happy in my life. Unfortunately, I had 60k in student loans (and my wife had more). My current plan is to work a job which pays way more than I deserve in tech while keeping my living expenses as low as possible.

About 4 years from now my wife an I are leaving the corporate world forever with all of the loans paid off and enough in the 401k's to never worry about retirement again. We will work at what we love (outdoor guiding and photography) and will be significantly happier for it.

Engineering and tech are great for some people. I'm glad I looked elsewhere to find a passion though.
