can someone offer me some career advice please? i'm getting sick and tired of missing windsurfing sessions due to being stuck in my office job. what job is reccommend that provides 2 things-

1) maximum time on the water
2) enough money to buy new gear and travel around the place looking for wind and waves.

thanks.

Your best bet is to work as an instructor for a UK company such as Neilson/Mark Warner etc at one of their resorts. It's pretty easy to get jobs and if you're a higher level instructor you will get a better chance of a high wind resort. You will need to do your RYA instructors course. i did it in the UK, 5 days for your level 3, which includes the Powerboat course. Don't bother with the Ozzie version, can't remember what it's called. I'm not even sure European companies recognise it. Also the money is dire, but you will have enough for your p!ss*

Sounds like you want to be a 24 hour shift worker. Especially with 12 hour shifts, you get more time off as you only work 3 or 4 days a week.

Jobs that usually have shift work are mining, utilities and critical services like hospitals, fire, ambulance and police. There are further sacrifices to be made though as they are generally not what many would consider to be low stress or easy jobs generally. The 24 hour part adds another burden of poor health too. You might be better off where you are.

criminal mastermind, sex worker, assasin, poker machine jockey, jazz musician, OR a combination of said careers........

trouble is you've gotta be at the ground later in the day ready to field!!!!

Get into sales! Then you're not stuck in an office and being on the road working to your own agenda means you can windsurf whenever...

Farms you start and finish early. And if it a vineyard it's easy as bru
