RE: Guiding as a career
I'm currently a Junior in college and thought I knew what I wanted to do right out of high school. I went intoa Professional Golf Management program because I was obsessed golf and thought why not work at a golf course since I love golf soooo much. Well, 2 years into the program and 2 internships later I hate golf. Only played a few times last year and don't even care to play anymore. This from the kid that played golf everyday in the summer from sun up to sunset. I'm currently going to school for Business Administration and may never play golf again.
So my advice to you, which may not matter, is keep your hobbies and love whattheyare and not your job. I know lots of peoplewho's job is their hobby(Golf Business)and love it but not for me.
