I'm only 23 but I think about leaving the tech field every day. I have also been depressed (not sure if I would say clinically depressed, but depressed) for a while now.

The only advice I have to give is that most bad things aren't as bad as we think they will be and most good things aren't as good as we think they will be.

You'll find plenty of reasons to become a ski instructor and plenty of reasons to take a 9-5 job, along with even more reasons not to do both. If you can find a way to relieve the pressure of making the "right" choice, it will be easier to make a good choice. Which, realistically, is probably either!

I'm not sure if that will help but I really hope that you enjoy your life, regardless of what you decide.
