Baller Ilivetoski Posted June 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2011 Ok so what would be considered an ideal ski job? One that pays enough to have a nice up to date boat and you can takes the time off for all the tournaments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old MS Accout Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The best part is you dont have to live on a lake or even own a boat. I am not sure that there is a job like that out there but if there was it would be great. I wonder if the guy that runs this web site has it that good?

MCskiFreak Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Naval Architect for a ski boat company is pretty hard to beat! They pay the gas, and want you to run their boats hard. Plus the great pay of being an engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted June 21, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted June 21, 2011 Win the Lottery! Freak, did just what you explained---It aint what it is all cracked up to be! Been their done that and have the "T"shirts....All of them! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted June 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2011 Again, to have it right you need to get work out of the equation. Lottery, inheritance, big IPO, something like that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller MattP Posted June 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2011 For a college guy like me, there are summer jobs working at ski schools. I got a good one traveling the country not a bad gig if you ask me. They usually do not pay but give you, a bed,food, and skiing. Horton's nephew got a good gig this summer too in Italy. You can't make money off a website thats just ridiculous, Just like trying to make money with iPhone apps It just does not work. Trust me. I know.

Baller MattP Posted June 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2011 Time to hijack a thread real quick @livetoski not to pick on you are anything buy your new here right? So first off WELCOME to BOS! Yeah yeah yeah but I doubt you friend makes them for a niche market like 3 event skiing? He charged for the design and the time it took to create to the company he did it for. He charged for the app in the app store also. Not to mention the iAd account was his as well. He even charged the company for the hassle to deal with apple to get the app in the store. Not to mention the updates and day to day up keep. You think hourly rates for web dev's are high try looking at mobile devs. What app did he design? At the moment BallOfScores is donation run. The app has been out for a month. Have I made a dime? No not a single one. Donate Link 1. I guess I should start charging for it... - downside No one would buy it 2. Get some sponsors - downside yeah next year possibly... 3. Hook iAd into it - im not crazy about having it in my apps, one more thing to deal with 4. Make all the haters happy by making an Android versions - oh just some more work for me 5. Come to the conclusion the countless hours put into it were for a hobby and nothing more. - sounds about right. @Horton will agree with me on that one Do I have other apps in the works related to skiing?, Yes Am I motivated to spend the time and money to publish them? thats debatable... And now I'm off my soapbox Thanks for reading my little rant. MattP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TeamWally Posted June 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted June 21, 2011 Become very popular by obtaining large trailer, fill it with many thousands of PA gear, learn to talk about skiers and most importantly know how to work an iPod, obtain a large motorhome to pull said trailer, fill the trailer with a jeep to jockey all the PA gear, then donate your time, equipment and fuel to get to tournaments across the country. Pay sucks but boy what fun. BTW don't ever complain when someone breaks any of your gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
