So I am a game ranger in South Africa.
Currently earning around 12k usd PA (not bad for someone my age, 24).
Now my problem is that all my education and skills have been developed in a field that will have very little relevance in a "normal" job. "Do you know how to use Excell?" "I know the basics, but I have advanced rifle handling and am licensed to walk guests in a reserve with free roaming big 5."
Now my question is. Do I leave my current job which allows me minimal opertunities to grow or increase my income in the long run?
There are other things that I really want. With my working hours and the fact that I'm on site for 6 weeks straight means I cannot even look at relationships. I cannot have a dog (honestly bothers me more than being single). I cannot spend time with friends and family. It's near impossible to study part time due to the hours that I work.
There are a couple of things that are keeping me here. The money is decent (with my current expenses), taking into account that they supply me with on site accommodation, food and the basic necessities. But the main thing is that I absolutely LOVE what I do. I cannot imagine myself doing anything else.
Any advice?
