For my "Your Choice" Piece I will be discussing my post graduation plans and ideas. For me the two biggest things I must consider are surfing and climbing. Sure looking for a good job is important, but I need to be in a place that offers either surfing or climbing or both. Unfortunately there aren't many places that have both. My options are the following: work with my buddy Jake in NJ as a rope technician (good pay, but NJ:(( ) , stay in NH with Fish and Game :(, or raft guide in Montana with friends. All things I'm not super stoked about, however option non the less. In terms of career direction I'm not 100% or even 80% sure on what I want to do, pushing me towards going to Montana. However this means I will be giving up climbing and surfing for the summer, something I am not yet ready to do. Especially given my recent progression in climbing. Something I may realistically want to do, is stay with my parents in NJ, work surf camp in the summer, and think about the future. This will not only give me time but reduce my cost of living. Here I will be able to better my financial situation, climb and surf, and figure out what I want to do.
Bringing it back to where I am today, I do have a lot of time here in my last year of school to figure out my post graduation situation. As my pondering continues, I will keep improving my climbing and search for more options that may fit my need.
