career avenues

I don't think this research thing is working out for me. Maybe it's b/c I'm not the type, or maybe it's because I haven't done any research in my research associate position so my brain is degrading into a pile of poo-poo... in any case, I don't feel like it's something I can do.

So what other possibilities are out there? hmm.. my requirements are the following:

gives me time to spend with steph (otherwise, what the hell did I move to SD for???)
gives me flexible time off to go climbing (I need my sanity)
pays me enough so that rent is no more than 30% of my net pay
Intellectually stimulating
Challenging (but doesn't go into that realm of "impossible")
ethical business practices (no lying, cheating, killing people... that sort of thing)

some potential routes:

retail in outdoor gear
outdoor guiding
teaching

if anyone has any more suggestions, feel free to comment
