Who here would rather work than fish? ................ Not me
........... self worth, self esteem, security, wealth and the negative stuff have more to do with providing comfortably for yourself and your family ....... work is just a poor man's interruption to life ........
I'm the best at what I do but I would give it all up tomorrow for a comfortable income for the rest of my life ............ wouldn't you?

Retired Maryland State Police Trooper/ Flight Paramedic. Currently working for a Private Ambulance Co. doing critical care transport. I wish I could fish or guide for a company anywhere. Simply put, I LOVE TO FISH. I also work or should I say I play at Bass Pro in the Arundel Mills Mall. I get paid to talk to poeple about my favorite hobbie which happens to be... you guessed it, FISHING. I would go in to work there for free. I'm actually trying to get a FT manager spot there in fishing. Yes I'd be taking a serious cut in pay, but I need to do it.Tom Brown
