fly fishing guide
recently I was chatting with a young man about the outdoors and he told me hed come out west to become a fly fishing guide. He loves to fly fish. the irony about being a guide of anything is that you dont end up actually doing the thing, your helping some one else do the thing you love to do while not actually doing it yourself.
if you like fishing, go fishing. if you like hunting, go hunting but lets not cornfuse guiding a thing you love with doing it. Ive done such things in my past and ended up getting burnt out on them by having to accommodate everyone else doing these things whilst never doing them myself. other than braggadocio at a public drinking house, there isnt any glory in it and the problem is that it pays soo bad, you cant afford much more than a beer at that house of bragging.
