When people first learn I’m a professional mountain climber, they often tell me how envious they are of my career choice. They wish they’d taken a bold move when they were younger and followed their dreams into a more adventurous career path rather than winding up in their current corporate position.
I often respond that my job, like theirs, can be challenging and frustrating, filled with ever-changing logistics, competitors, customer demands, and impolite people.
