If you had your choice of occupation that would enable you to spend more time on the water, what would it be and why?
Teacher would be my first choice, speaking from strictly a fishing time standpoint. Summers off for the most part. Mr. Hand concurs.

Remember that show on ESPN called "Fish On" where three hot women go fishing all over the world in exotic locations and there was one lucky SOB who was the "male host" I think I could get into that gig.

teaching ain't no walk in the park, 6 hours a day, but that is up in front of kids teaching. Then correcting papers, preparing class plans, parent teacher meeting, etc, all on top of that. It's a well over a 40 hours per week job when all is said and done. I'm not a teacher, but my parents both taught for over 30 years.

I had a teacher in high school who worked in industry prior to teaching and he said it was an easy job, but he was a natural teacher and taught math in a state with Regents exams where the cirriculum was pretty static. After a few years the day to day stuff of planning, homework and testing is already done, you can do the BS work of grading etc. quickly, and spend your time teaching.
Of course my kids have to write explanations of how they arrived at the answer to their math problems, I would have failed.

Ahhhh...... I am a teacher. Who told you that we only work six hours a day??? Every job has its challenges. All I know is that working with middle schoolers from 7:30am-4:30pm (I coach) is pretty exhausting. Throw in correcting, preperation, and meetings and you've got a full time job (9 months out of the year: )

Actually, one of the reasons I teach is so that I have time to do things I enjoy--Fish being #1 on the list.

[NIB]

I certainly miss summer recess...
Skool's out for Summmer,,,,,,
