 I am a guide in the Whistler Bike Park, if you want a super fun career than I suggest becoming a guide. The money isn't the best, but while the rest of the world is earning a pay check behind a desk we get paid to ride are bikes. If you want more information contact Tom Radkie at the bike park in mid-may, he will be able to give you more information.
