I know a lot of top guys in the industry and they started this way.

BUT, a lot of them are somewhat unhappy too. There is a ton of travel and a ton of divorce due to their dedication. Some say it is worse than alcoholism interfering with a marriage. The guys I know constantly complian about such things as: not being home to see their children born, not being home for their signifcant others b-day in over five years, not hunting close to home like they used to, not being at home for Holidays, not being able to hunt how they like or shoot what they want, the pushing and pulling of sponsors, etc.......
