I have a degree in mechanical engineering. My most recent job was R&D in medical devices. Now I'm unemployed (by choice). I finished college and worked as an engineer for a couple of years. Then the whole work thing got not-so-fun and I decided to quit and do what I like to do, which turned out to be rock climbing. I moved into my van. Everything I owned was in that car. It was my house on wheels. I tried to set camp as close to the rocks as possible, and climb as many days as I could. Then I ran out of money, so I went back and got a job. After another couple years of working, I've saved enough to travel again. So I'm back on the road.
