For a number of years I was a professional fishing guide.
I thought hey, I get to fish for a living and the money is great! Well, the money was great, and I love to fish and the outdoors, but that job was one of the hardest things I've ever done. The hours became crazy, some of the customers unbearable. There were so many things that sucked the joy out of my life that I just stopped guiding all together.
My dream job became a nightmare.
