That requires work. Worked about 30 years in finance.

That has a lot to do with the fact there isn't a lot of demand for the 
product.

Great, but your analysis is black and white.  Her positioning 
means that she does mean to make money (northeast) more than 
skiing.  Secondly, what is life without giving back to the community.  
There are more important things than self-entertainment.  For a 
self-proclaimed social advocate she has done nothing for others.
For your info, I am also pursuing a second career - I am pursuing 
another degree BS in Nursing and have spent a lot of time over the 
last 18 months working towards that end.  I have just finished 2 
months working in a Transitional Care Unit in a hospital with the 
elderly.  I guess some people have different ideas about what is 
important in life.   If you are going to present yourself as an 
advocate then put up or shut up.  She has done neither.
