Ok, how many of you have changed your job to ride more.

i'm sure a bunch of 18-21 year olds have, but the more "mature" people have figured out how to ride around their work schedule.

my job allows me to come and go from the office as i please. of course, if i'm busy and have a lot of work, i can't leave. also, being promoted and given the title "general manager" keeps me from leaving.

I plan on moving up to the Delta to ride allot more. When I do move I will change my job. Does that count?

Work for a company that has active people. The president, VP, HR manager, sales manager, and myself have, at times, all taken 2-3 hour lunches to go ride. Usually not all together, but I always get to go because I am the only one with a boat.

For me I plan it around my schedule. I'm 30yrs old now and it's impossible to be floating from job to job. Although the company i work for is cool enough to allow me to take time off when needed.

I work around my riding schedule whenever possible....My job lets me pick a shift schedule, then I burn my vacation and holiday time so I only work 3-4 days a week....

I don't know about changing my line of work, but location and company to ride more in a heart beat. Maybe that's because my season is all of 4 months though?

Haven't changed jobs, sometimes works out, smetimes not.

I did move, for the sole purpose of riding more. I was 30 minutes from a public lake, now 5 minutes from a private wakeboard area.

I didn't change jobs to ride more, but I did recently move to another state to have a house on the water, which equals riding more.

(okay, that wasn't the main reason, just a pleasant side effect)

I moved to ride more and I've declined job opportunities because they would involve me riding less.

Other than that, I've been at the same job for 7 years.

Might as well ride while I'm able to.

Being that I live and work 2 miles from the lake it is easy for me to ride after work and before work.

My work environment is really laid back and as long as my work is getting done I can work it in my schedule.

I also have to pass three seperate sections of the lake every morning and sometimes it sucks to see butter that I cant always ride.

No, but last night I stayed at a Holiday Inn.

In high school, I got a job at a marina just to be able to ride. I really didn't need the money, but employees could always get a couple of hours at the end of the day on the rental boats. Now in college, I work at a golf course so I can play free golf. I guess next I should get a job at a brothel.
