Be a ski instructor.

You can take a coding job later when you need to support your family that you started during your ski job. Your degree is not going to expire.

You can't take your SWE money to the grave. You have real passion for something -- many people would be jealous of that. Don't waste it.

First step is knowing yourself, and you know you love skiing, ao as they say, 'party on wayne'
