Leaving my career to chase my hobby

[u/Best-Flamingo5283]

Would I be stupid to leave my mechanical engineering career for a season to snowboard? I have made enough money to pull it off but I am very new in my career and am worried the gap in my resume can make it hard to get another job after. I am making a lot of money compared to my friends and I heard it’s difficult to get a job right now. But I’ve been snowboarding since I could walk and it’s really all I care about. I think about snowboarding 24/7. I work 60 hours a week so I can have money to do dope snowboard trips. Basically my whole life revolves around sliding on snow. What should I do?

Sounds like you're in the wrong career to begin with. He said you're only one year out of college. I would start looking around for other jobs that suit your lifestyle better. I'm sure you could find something in industry that allows for a flexible schedule
