Historical interpreter at a Western fur trade site. I'd get to play mountain man without having to live with all the downsides (bears, hostile Indians, etc).

I wouldn't change a thing. My career I wanted to be, started I was a second grader. I followed my dream and could not imagine doing anything but I did to put bread on the table.

Guide special needs hunts/ hunt problem animals for native populations around the world. The current fur prices make it almost impossible to trap for a living, but if fur prices go up, i would love to trap.

Always wanted to be a drifter. If I had the energy I'd walk one of the hiking trails for several months. If I can not do that, just truck camp across America.


Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Here you go PAskinner. They hire driving school graduates. Pay is not awful for rookies. Good training program. Truck camp all over the lower 48 and Canada.

I had a chance to go pipelining years ago with a fella that worked on the Alaska pipeline. Gone all summer but would've had all all fall/winter off and been able to sign up for unemployment.

I was too stupid to take the offer.

Hard to argue with professional golfer. Get to play the greatest courses in the world week in and out. Every weekend you roll into town the red carpet is rolled out for you. Never been much better than a bogey golfer. It's really hard to comprehend how good the professionals really are. I've worked on golf courses for the last 25 years I really enjoy that end of it as well, but it's hard to find time to play. Professional trapper would be great as well if you could actually make a good living at it. Very tough to do in my area. Cool topic.

Being able to make a living doing my art work, actually tried it but made every mistake you could on the marketing, working with family being the biggest mistake. Now that I am retired/disabled I'm going to do it and this time I don't have to put up with the nonsense marketing.

I dont work in trapping season but I dont draw unemployment either. Its my choice not to work.
