Teaching at the college level works out pretty well for me. I usually manage to get 4 day work weeks and I have large chunks of time off (particularly during the summer) for extensive climbing trips. Too bad my wife isn't on the same schedule.

Was a sales director in London - had no life outside of work, couldn't even take holidays without taking calls and dealing with crap on my own time I remember hiking through the gorge du verdon on holiday dealing with work on my mobile phone, surprised and disappointed I had a mobile signal. So eventually I quit, we went traveling and then moved someplace where it's possible to see Mont Blanc from the couch - but to do what I have no idea yet........so the balance has shifted in favor of the mountains, but that can't last, one must earn a living.
