Two good friends of mine are getting their Ph.Ds in Outdoor Education. They're having a blast with the program. I actually enjoy editing their papers and publications because I learn so much.dipsi wrote:younger, I might have followed a path that led me outdoors.

Hey Alien,
That's that show on MTV right? 2 North or something like that? The one with the Flaming Lips theme song? Do you have any copies it? I LOVED that show. I'd buy a copy from you if you had one and were willing.

A Masters in Outdoor Education gives you the knowledge, skills, and abilities you need to be an administrator in the field of Outdoor Education... like me! http://www.campusrec.eku.edu/adventure/
This entails risk management issues, policy and procedures development, technical competancies, personel management, training issues, budgeting, marketting, planning, etc... not as easy as many of my students seem to think.
but um... i did it with a BS degree only so far... but that's because i'm awesome.
Here's some schools that offer it:

I definately agree with pigsteak on this one. I also have a BS in geology (from U. of Cinc.) and I work at a geotech/enviromental/ testing company here in town and the work definately leaves something to be desired for those of us who really love geology and not construction. I thought about going back to school for my masters but in geology there is not a whole lot more to do around here besides geotech/enviromental stuff. I think I really wanted to go back just to run away from the real world and the fact I don't have a job I absolutely love. Maybe you should try finding a job in a more geology friendly area (out west) and see how that works out first before going into more debt. 
I'm sorry, but what's wrong with leaving the 8-6 stress and/or boredom brought on by corporate america? There's no shame in running from that. How more real can you get by trying to live and eat on little dinero (unless you're rich, get good grant or have a supportive spouse) while trying to meet the ceaseless demands of your professors and probably students if you have to teach?
Or you could just do what Henry David Thureau did.
