Warren-
Thanks for popping on this site- next time you're on- a serious question.
I've recently heard about some colleges offering backpacking courses, even a degree in backpacking? I freely admit I don't know much about your work in the academic world but I would be greatly interested to hear your opinion on these programs and if they have the potential to be a legitimate career path?
I am curious to hear your thoughts-
Are courses/universities exploring these programs?
Is this a growing trend, or a trendy "blow off" class being offered?
How did you get started and what is the academic portion of your career?
I know and respect your hiking background, but only recently heard about this aspect of your life and would love to hear more about it. I see things here and there like this- http://catalog.fortlewis.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=13&poid=1789&returnto=467
But what would you actually do with this degree?
Thanks-
Bill
