RE: Hunting for a career?
Do I do it for a living? No. Could I? Yes. I do it "part time" and the purpose is to allow myself more hunting opportunities that I would not be able to afford otherwise. I will not dive in full time simply because there is no security for my family, and I already have 16+ years in with the Fed Gov't. So...we do pick and choose what we want to do, when we want to do it. We also only take sponsorships from companies that number one are good people to work with, and number 2 products that we believe in.
The workload I have went thru over the last year is unreal. I have missed hunting and bowfishing days simply due to having to put work time into editing, or whatever. Does that workload lessen my enjoyment? No. The only change I feel I will have to make is to figure out how to delegate some work towards my partner, and our pro-staff. Again, though, when I am not under the pressure of feeding my family and paying the house payment with the hunting bowfishing, I am out there able to enjoy it fully. I cannot say whether or not full timing it would diminish the enjoyment. Certainly the travel would wear on me and the family - it already does that now.
