And it's a pretty recognizable accomplishment. You can also grab a dog from the Humane Society and take him/her for a mountain hike. That's always a nice feeling.
Rock Climbing is an amazing activity too. You can learn fairly quickly at a climbing gym. And you can accomplish a lot by yourself too. There's nothing like bouldering alone in the mountains. It gives you a reason to search out destinations. It quickly builds into the kind of thing that becomes a lifestyle. I've traveled all over with the one purpose of finding rocks to climb. You meet people, you find climbing partners. You free solo El Cap. Whatever. It's a great addition to life.
Photography from what I gather is similar. You can use photography as an excuse to travel to some pretty cool places. I still don't see the point if there's no dog in the picture. But some people do. There's also lots of clubs you can join.
If you're interested learn how to day trade. It's all I do and takes up a few hours of the day at least. You kind of feel like you're doing something productive. It's something that can change your life as well. I like not worrying about macro issues in the economy and not wondering about a job.

I actually study photography as part of my degree! But thanks for all the suggestions, will look into all this. Day trading... can you elaborate on that a bit?
