Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire new career

After learning the cost of putting 4 kids through college while having a challenging and fun career I probably wouldn't change much. However, spending a life as a govt. hunter or mountain/ hunting guide has always seemed perfect to me. Making a living outdoors w/ out dealing w/ people would be awesome.

A verse popped into my mind right after reading your post Wabigoon.

I tried to recall what book that was in, but couldn't.
I grabbed my Bible and opened it up and and guess what happened? No leafing through the books or scanning for it.
The Lord had me to open to the exact page and led my.eyes immediately to the exact verse that came to mind.

"This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work."

I Timothy 3:1

Wouldn't change anything.

How about a Genie, I keep all the wishes.

Retired 9 yrs now......

suits me fine

Endodontist if it wasn’t for all the school necessary.

Priest.

bwaaaaaaahahahaha.

some days you're on it.

Family history in the Adirondack resorts?

Game Warden.

My family legacy is law enforcement and the outdoors, but my love of technology took me down the public safety/911 path.

It is recession proof, and pays very well in the public sector, so no regrets...

But I'd take a 50% salary reduction to nail poaching azzhats to the post at this point in my life.

Seven years in retirement is the best job I've ever had. Get to hunt, fish, swap guns and do whatever else I like to do on my time schedule. Not punching a time clock nor dealing with rush hour traffic and winter driving suits me just fine.

No f'ing idea.

Piano player in a high dollar whore house. I always wanted to be able to play music, and the scenery would just top it off.

An over the road truck driver. The way trucking was in the 70’s; not now.

Bronnie Ware spent part of her career as an end of life nurse, providing palliative care to people at the end of their lives. She wrote a book about it, ‘The Top Five Regrets of the Dying - A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing.’ She found that among dying men, their 2nd to the top regret was “I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.” She said this response came from every single male patient that she cared for. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. All of the men she cared for deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.
And the number 1 regret was “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life other’s expected of me.”

Marine Biologist, I already have the degree, no jobs available. I took a job with a Federal Environmental Agency as an investigator, great job, paid good with pension. I don't carry and have investigated a target who was convicted of double manslaughter and several organized crime family members, it has gotten sporty at times! Haven't gotten hurt yet, I retire in 5 months!

Pretty much the same as I was able to do and especially with students - highly rewarding internally and professionally if not so much financially. But, second time around would hope to be smart enough to not invest time and effort trying to give leadership for the occasional unctuous, self-centered quasi-academics who think that their navels are the center of the universe.

Cool.
