Default Fishing & Hunting Industry

Does anyone have any ideas for someone who is looking to get into what he is passionate about. He is a laid off machinist but would like to do something different after 20 years, he has a Bachelors in Management, a wife and 1 infant son. Please, no ideas that pay $8.00 an hour, he's aware of those and they are not an option. Any help would be appreciated.

check at ODFW and see what jobs they have open... can't get any better job than working for them... maybe you could draw your tags every year if you worked for them...
