Careers in off road motorsport

[xmob]

Long story cut real short...

Is it possible to earn £25k doing jobs involved with off roading?

Instructing?
Event organising?
Sales?
Competing ( :!: )?

[turtle]

If it was then I give my job today.

Me too!:lol:

Seriously though, its not easy to earn a living from off roading and there are few people who do.  Largely in the training/ corporate events area.  

Most motorsport events and all off road motorsport events in the UK are run by volunteers.

Obviously vehicle and parts sales can be money makers, but in reality these are usually a bit removed from off roading.

The trouble with BORDA is that it's a considerable investment to get qualfied.   :(

Hm, time to have a think about something else.

Not sure, I did try to look into it but never got an answer. I have done the part 1. But I did not pay the full price.

You could join the Armed Forces, they pay well ish, have loads of off road toys and have huge areas to play in without ramblers or moaning mertles to annoy you.

They also give free holidays to exotic and rarely visited locations for free, and you can have all the DPM stuff you could ever want/need!

Has private medical and dental care for your family too and a good pention scheme. Although does have it's draw backs.....

Been there, done that.  Almost!   :D

I spent some time as an "Officer Recruit" with both the REME and Army Air Corps.  Job great, Air Corps even offered me a civvy job.  It was just the Army life that didn't suit me, not at the time.

I'm now 31 and nudging 18 stone, so my chances with the forces are slim.
