There are been a few gap year students at work who go off to be "instructors".
I convinced it's a scam to get money out of the motivated; but still dumb young.

Hope it goes well, I think you'll need to move and find a money skill for the off season to make it work. Cab driver or something.

It's not a scam
It was entirely my own choice, and I had to set everything up from scratch. Frankly, a scam would probably have been cheaper. I can also work for myself and charge what I like - there's nothing to tie me into any company or association.

You're right about eh off season though. My thoughts at the moment are that when I complete my degree, I'll do the kiting in summer and some ski season stuff in the winter - probably not teaching skiing though. There's a possibility of becoming a kite ski instructor, but because of various mountain guiding laws I don't think I can take people above 500m, so doing in this country may not be practical.
