The best instructor jobs

[Herr Dickenstein]

Dear Rooshers, you are the kind of people that I want to surround myself with on daily basis. In that spirit, I am wondering what is the skill that you want to learn and are willing to pay for?

For the last couple of years, I became completely aware of my path in life. I shine in group class situations, I always take charge and my favorite thing in life is helping others and giving someone a piece of advice they can use. I know that every fiber of my being is meant to be an instructor. The real question is - an instructor of what?

I always thought that I'd be a fitness trainer, but soon realized that the market is oversaturated with them and that they aren't really necessary, the kind of people who will achieve any progress in fitness is the same kind of people who will have enough self-initiative to look up proper exercise forms online. Then I thought that I'd be a yoga instructor, but realized that I don't like the whole new age middle-aged-woman spirituality mindset that goes along with it. Being a ski instructor is also something that I don't like because of its highly seasonal nature and besides, I am too old to start learning how to ski now and actually get good to a point where I can teach others something.

Whatever it is that I am teaching others, I want to be passionate about it and I want it to be an actual skill that helps others and furthers my strictly anti-materialistic ideology. I am willing to devote my whole life to it and take it an expert level. So far, my ideas are for a wilderness survival instructor, swimming instructor and a driving instructor. But I am interested in hearing your ideas because people like you would be my target audience. What would you want to learn?

Seems a bit horse before the cart.....normally you are skilled before choosing to teach that area.
Sometimes having that skill doesn't always translate to being good at instructing or it can actually be unpleasant
ie teaching beginners to play enter sandman on guitar for example....

Yoga can be rather masculine, the females in the USA just dominate the studios typically. I've been to multiple yoga studios run by men and they don't have the new age mindset you speak about. Focus on tradition and teachings from the male yogis, it may strike you differently. Partner with a female and you could have a well-balanced atmosphere. But first, like the other poster said, you need to become a master before beginning a business. You need to build some serious credibility if anyone is going to respect you. Finally, some people say that yoga is odds with Christianity and I probably agree but that is another discussion.

I admire the spirit of this post, however, my budget is tied up to the point that I can rarely justify paying to learn something. I have to budget my money for materials and resources and worry about learning things on my own or with the help of friends. Maybe a better plan is to find a way to spend a lot of time with men working together on projects and especially disciplining younger men.

When choosing a career I think you should focus on something that allows you to live the lifestyle that you want to live while making enough money.

I was thinking about the last part of your post. The lifestyle that I want is to be able to work remotely, so that I wouldn't be forced to live in the city and commute to work every morning. With enough income, I'd be able to save up a lot of money living in the countryside and start building a community for like-minded men.

Would UX Designer be a viable profession that can fit into that frame? Or perhaps even a Front-end developer? I was always drawn to visuals and coding doesn't really interest me, but I'd be able to grind to achieve my goal. Are there any UX Designers/Front-end developers here who could share some tips?

I think probably any full time programming gig that offers remote work would be a great fit for what you are considering.
