Careers: Money vs. happiness?

[shootingstar]

This is a good thread. I'm curious what fitness industry jobs people are interested in working in?

I'm at a similar crossroads in my own career path. My two passions in life are writing and cycling. I was laid off from a very good writing job last year. Ultimately I would love to write part-time and do something cycling/fitness related too. I love to motivate people and work with them, and the thought of another job just sitting and writing full-time is a scary thought, unless it involves fitness too. I've thought about becoming a spinning instructor, but I'm still not sure exactly what the job title for "it" is.

Hey, bluebug it's always good to write for local cycling organization or offer to create and manage their blog.

I don't get paid for the 2 blogs below. Nor for articles in this one, but it's just good exposure in general, particularily the large tourism blog.

However I'll be writing for a yet-to-be-released 4th cycling blog. For a cycling conference.

Meanwhile I did get a full-time job in the midst of all this which has absolutely nothing to do with cycling. Guess I'll be doing these things exclusively: working, then cycling and then home to eat and blog.

My Muse will be doing a triathalon. Hey yea, that's what it is, except it's 4 activities listed above, instead of 3.
