Careers That Allow You To Go To The Mountains Every Weekend

Any outdoor adventure geek would agree: being in the mountains is way better than being at work. But who says you have to work a regular nine-to-five job. Who says you have to have a job that requires you to work every weekend in order to be “happy” and “successful?” You can drastically change your life and do a job that you love.

You might have seen people at home during the day and wondered how they can afford their home, car or travel. You can do anything if you put your mind to it. Consider these career paths that allow you to take off to the mountains every weekend.

Writer

You have to love writing to get into it. It doesn't offer a lot of pay at first, but you have an incredible amount of freedom with being a writer. You can write for anyone, for yourself and on any topic. With blogging, there is greater freedom in how you write. The best thing about writing is that you can wear what you want, sit next to a lit candle, listen to the rain outside, dance in the middle of the day or whatever else you want because you get to decide your schedule and everything you do in the day. If you can put the pedal to the metal in the early days when you need to cover a lot of ground for decent pay, it might be something you'd enjoy.

Lawyer

Lawyers can earn a lot of money. That's true for those who are just starting out. This is another job that you absolutely must love; otherwise, it won't work out. This job has tight deadlines and nothing can be missed. Clients depend on lawyers. Lawyers have to remain on top of all of their cases. This is why law firm document management is essential. If a lawyer can stay on top of everything in an efficient manner, they should take off to go to the mountains and do more. Being a lawyer is rewarding, but it is hard work. Lawyers desperately need to take time to take care of themselves.

Life Coach

Life coaching is one of the best careers in the world. They get to work with all different walks of life, and they can work from home. You don't need much to be a life coach. You need to have the passion to do it, and you should be certified. Other than that, you just need a laptop, a way to take video and have meetings, a cell phone and whatever other piece of technology that can help you to stay in touch with your clients. Life coaches are the best examples of how one should take care of themselves. A trip to the mountains and everywhere else is a must for them.

Entrepreneur

Technically, each job on this list could be an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs can make a business out of anything. A word to the wise: Entrepreneurs need to believe in their product or service to be successful. It's not enough to want to make a lot of money. People see through that. Entrepreneurs are go-getters, they don't accept "no" lightly, they make the time for work, and they make things happen. Entrepreneurs are masters of time. They are incredibly busy, but they find time to do the things they love, which include awesome, cheap weekend trips.

Stock Trader

You might picture someone in a suit and tie trading stocks all day. Some stock traders are like this. Others are comfy in their beds with the blankets still on them and awake when the opening bell goes off. It can be a funny sight to see. Even on the worst day, they can make $150. They don't have to leave their house. With technology, you have after-hour trading that a lot of people get involved in. A stock trader can choose how and when they trade and can make a considerable amount of money.

Conclusion

At the end of the day, you can make anything work to your advantage if you love what you do. If you hate your job, you will resist it at all costs. If you love your job, you will naturally work hard at it, and it will ultimately be financially profitable.
