Jason, I have watched a few of your videos about transitioning into guiding. It was the inspirational push I needed. Because of your videos I have complete the SPI course, and this past weekend passed my SPI assessment. I intend to continue on the AMGA track farther. I just wanted to Thank you for making videos and sharing them. I am sure it is a lot of work, thank you!

Great Video. For the SPI, I know some of the requirements are 12 months prior climbing experience, and some trad leading experience. Are there any other requirements for the SPI? And do you have any tips for completing the SPI? Thank you.

Do you have advice on how to afford AMGA courses? Are there scholarships or sponsorships available? Are there any Ph.D. programs that lead to this certification? I was looking for graduate programs in mountaineering, but didn't find any. What would I do if I want to get into this at a professional, academic level and become an instructor? Is the closest thing a Ph.D. in geology? Is there any scientific research involving mountaineering which is part of a Ph.D. program? How can I combine my desire for scientific research with my desire for being out in the field in the mountains? I have so many questions!! I recently graduated with my bachelor's in biology and am interested in working in the field, but I'm not really interested in studying marine ecosystems and my true desires are in the mountains. I'm interested in teaching and research, but I want it to be in the mountains. Is this a thing of the past when mountains were unexplored? How can I make this into my professional career? I appreciate any information, thank you so much!
