Should I take a real job and quit full time van life at 33?
ok so context: i've been living out of my sprinter and climbing full time for almost 3 years now. no sponsors, just seasonal guiding gigs and a thin savings cushion, like $4k thin lol. yesterday the owner of a gym in Bishop offered me assistant manager, $58k a year, actual health insurance, the whole deal. i'd still climb but way less, weekends mostly, no more chasing conditions across three states whenever i want. my body's still good but i'm not 25 anymore and every guide buddy over 40 i know has some joint that's toast. the money would let me actually save something for once instead of living send to send. but every time i picture parking the van for good and clocking in at 8am something in my chest just drops. girlfriend (31F) is nomad too and says she'll support whatever but i can tell she doesn't want the settled version of me. torn as hell on this one. do i grab the stability while i can or keep sending till my knees give out 馃
