The obvious answer is the obvious one. Do you really expect the collective to advise you to put shelf skiing in lieu of professional pursuits at a time in your life when you are at your physical and social peaks, with practically nothing tying you to any one place or thing? I say this because I have asked similar questions and gotten similar answers.

It’s a tough call, guy wants to keep skiing. Alot of us say that but living in London it’s game over.
If I had to make a plan for someone it might go like this.
Take the job in London. Live cheap, if that’s fucking possible, save every nickel you can, invest it all, ski when you can, and then in 10-20 yrs, punch out with a nest egg for a home, and find a second carrier doing something you enjoy.
But most importantly, do not get hitched and have kids before you move. Chances are they will not have the same plan.
So long as you have a plan, and you stick to it, you can do it.

So, I've been offered a remote job in the UK at a reasonably large outdoor sports retailer, doing their grad scheme, which involves rotation through three departments: logistics, buying and marketing. The former two fields are of little interest to me for a long-term career. I am much more enthusiastic about marketing, but I have strong views on the company's present marketing strategy, and am not sure that it will be the best place to learn. Salary isn't great, and the job is unlikely to develop sufficient skills or look good enough on my CV to diminish the need to do a master's.
I thought I would still take it and do it for a year to gain some experience and perspective. However, the small print stipulates that despite being remote, only 30 working days per year can be spent abroad; i.e. I couldn't live in the Alps. With annual leave, maybe I could spend 8-10 weeks there, working predominantly, not just skiing. Remote work if I am based mostly in the UK isn't ideal as a new grad looking to cut his teeth.
So now I face a quandary. My head says take it and that I am being overly picky. My heart says to hold out and that if I am going to compromise on my life plans (a notion still causing great disquietude) then I should compromise properly and do something that will really improve my future prospects. Thoughts?Last edited by JackSkier; 07-26-2022 at 08:18 AM.

If your heart tells you that you won't be happy, then that is important to listen to. While there are places in life that this compromise may be necessary, you are young and should chase what you want IMO. Is the job market in EU as strong as it is in the US right now? Lots of jobs to be had means you can be a little more picky.

Jump on it. The company wants you to learn the whole aspect of its business, which will help you down the road, especially if you end up in upper management. Plus you will develop contacts with people in several departments which will be beneficial.

That is good advice. The UK job market is good at the moment; we have a record number of vacancies. I imagine it varies across the EU, but the problem there for me stems more from my generalised degree.
The option of doing a 6 month internship in marketing, one more season ski bumming, and then a Master's is still alluring, but lacking the short-term security (mental and financial) offered by stable employment. In the long-term, however, it would allow for more skiing this year and better career prospects.Last edited by JackSkier; 07-26-2022 at 03:33 PM.

Nudging this as I still feel like I've got my head up a cow's arse on this, and I need to make my decision for tomorrow morning. My parents are sadly absolutely useless for this kind of thing.

Dude.
You earned a useless degree in history
You want something else.
Go abroad. Get some experience. Shag a broad.
Life is an adventure with many forks.
You’re scared. Jump off a cliff to the next adventure.
Cut the apron strings. Do it.
Worse case you quit and go home tail between legs.

Cheerio my dear chap,
Have you considered the benefits of moving to Pyongyang to pursue a career? In addition to offering a varied choice of careers, the DPRK is home to world class skiing at Masikryong. Living in Pyongyang you would have access to many of Korea's cultural heritage sites and entertainment venues. The over 1300m elevation at Masikryong ensures an ample supply of snow on the resorts 9 trails and a host of apres activities including a relaxing spa for sore legs at the end of the day. The DPRK embraces the concept of Juche, where man is the center of his environment and as a British citizen, you can be assured you will be treated in the highest manner possible.
Respectfully yours,
Kim Jong-un
Supreme Leader DPRK
