When I lived back east, a buddy and I purchased a boat for the Great Lakes, King Salmon, Coho's, big Mac's, loved it!
I got my captains license and started a charter company, I ran it for 6 years, day in day out, trolling, catching big fish, watching others have a good time, some I enjoyed, some I couldn't wait till they left. Sold the boat.
Moved west to Jackson Hole Wyoming. Got a dory and started taking flyfishermen on the Wyoming and Utah rivers, day in day out, worked in the fall with my older brother a big game outfitter, guiding Mule Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope hunters day in day out.
Sixteen years ago I quit and started selling Real Estate, now I hunt and fish with my friends when I want(when my wife will let me)no guided trips, no babysitting.
I love my hobbies again.
Anything that you turn into a job, becomes a job. I had alot of fun doing the guiding, but it wasn't usually on my terms.
My recomendation is to do a job you enjoy, that pays enough and gives you enough free time to do the things that you enjoy.

I've re-read this and I sure sound like a sour puss. Guess I'll take my kids shooting.
