If you made a career change...

A top freelance feature writer/photographer for the national media. (Still working on it.)
You can't make it as an outdoor writer who does not boatfish, so I sell tackle in order to pay the bills. Now, I'm a tackle dealer who does a little writing on the side....oh well.
Its a boring job and I don't make a lot of money but at least I don't have to look at and listen to the d-bags all day like I did when I worked in the printing industry.
The first thing you realize after working for yourself for a while is just how badly the people you used to work for were screwing you.

I'm getting a degree in fisheries this May. But I'm working for a construction company now and will be for a while. Reading all this is kinda making me think twice about not going into what I love. But I need the cash, not to mention the perks, like the view of all the shirtless men up on the wall. Anybody wanna borrow my degree for a while?

I'd go back into commercial fishing - I wouldn't make anything close to what I do now but I wuld be a hell of a lot happier.

Money isn't everything - do what makes you happy - (unless you have a family to support)

Good Daryl, I'm glad for you.
Yes, I know what you mean, it has always been a cut throat business.
