I've had the chance to and at one time seriously thought I wanted to work in the hunting/archery industry as a career path. Not in a "Pro Hunter" role, but in other aspects involving marketing/sales. I turned the opportunity down and now after knowing several people that have been there......I've decided a normal 9-5 job that pays me well enough to hunt hard now, and to retire young is really the best fit for me. I wouldn't change anything, except I'd love maybe another week of vacation per year to help better balancevacation between family/hunting.
Yeah, I have a very similar philosophy. I'm a first year teacher (hired right of college, so I'm very fortunate). The pay is very good, the cost of living in this area is relatively low, and I get plenty of time off (including my whole summer
). Only downfall, is a I really can't take weeks at a time off during hunting season, but I still am able to hunt most evenings after school.
What do you do Matt? I've often wondered, and I actually thought you did work in the archery industry, but I guess I was mistaken.
