<prompt> Human: I have a job opportunity to be a full time ski instructor at Vail Ski Resorts and really want to take a year or two to do something like this post college. I understand the real estate market is in high demand there, and the prices are pretty high for apartments. Is 400-450 a week enough to survive and pay off some debts? I Have around 35000 in loans as well and was just wondering if this is a viable option.  <response>: 35K in loans and you want to take a seasonal job in Colorado? That sounds financially dubious. Maybe you could survive if you have enough roommates, but with such a low income you will likely struggle to make much beyond the minimum payments. Even assuming you got 400week for 52 weeks you would be only making 21Kyear.
