The normal path for increasing one's salary in the field of outdoor adventure education or recreation, is to quickly accumulate a lot of good field experience, let say 100 weeks of field work within 3 to 4 years, then start seeking promotions within a good organization or send applications to other companies/schools/organizations offering management or administrative leadership positions.
