I am a college student who, like many others, is questioning what I want to do with my life, and if the path I'm currently on is the right one.
I really want to travel the world and climb mountains. There are so many places I want to see and summits I want to make, but I'm currently studying to become a doctor and a lot of times I don't feel like I'll ever have the time or ability to pursue my dreams. So, I've been thinking of alternate career choices.
I see a lot of people who are mountaineers/climbers/skiers etc. and do that stuff all the time. But I'm wondering, how do they have money to do this? To travel and buy equipment and live to be in the mountains all the time? How do they make a living?
Thank you to anyone who can help me understand this. If anyone also has suggestions to how I can combine my love for medicine and climbing, that would be great too!
