I'm just coming out of my twenties, and have also suffered from some bad depression throughout, so I guess I might be able to offer some perspective.

First, mid-twenties are hard for lots of people. I kinda hated the last five years or so of my life. It's chaos, and most of the choices of post-Uni adulthood are shit.

However, there are some upsides. First, you have some time. Nobody is going to grudge you teaching people how to ski. You wouldn't be throwing anything away by doing that. It's actually a better idea than going into a job you're gonna hate, and not going to engage in.

That said, the 9-to-5 is also pretty nice. My feeling is a lot of what makes the mid-twenties horrible is a combination of stress, signifigant choices, and chaotic living situations. Sometimes when you have a 9-to-5, it's just the kind of steady, boring bread that you can build a fulfilling life around. You know, get kids and a wife, take up making model planes as a hobby. Go skiing. Read some good books.
