Posts: 32886 Location: Rhinelander, Wisconsin | The Lindner's core business has been Media since they founded In Fisherman. It still is, but they don't do much print any more. Lindner Media is one of the top TV production companies in the Mid West and their TV show is a popular one, but not as powerful as In Fish once was due to cable/satellite TV. Billy is a sought after photographer, and his work carries a signature 'look' that's unmistakable. Attachments ----------------  jpeg0.jpg (158KB - 100 downloads) | ||

IAJustin - 12/3/2012 7:05 AM get your masters and be a college professor, teach fisheries and wildlife. Have your summers off to fish  or own a business (different than being self-employed) and have the right pieces in place, allowing you to leave for extended periods. It takes a lot of time and money and getting in the "industry" is most likely going to give you very little of both.The above is some sound advice. Here's my two cents... Everyone's reply seems to be go and get a lucrative job so you can afford to do what you love. A CPA, Professor, Company exec., ext... I don't want to discourage that route in any way but just point out that a lucrative job is going to take a good education and at least 10-15 years of solid 100 percent dedication. So if you decide to go that route be ready to put your nose down,study and work hard. If you do so and are committed it will pay off. If you enjoy your fisheries studies and could seriously see yourself working in a field that's more of a hobby to you then by all means go for it (that's what I choose). But keep in mind a few important things.... Your young ( I'm only 27 so I just went through your phase in life about 7 years ago), which means your going to evolve as a person a hell of a lot over the next few years. What you think you would like to do for a career now may be completely different in a few years. If you decide to stick with the fisheries route I would highly suggest getting a minor in something else that peaks your interest (or at least take some classes to learn it and network). I would highly suggest taking some buisiness classes as you can do about anything with a buisiness degree. And even if you don't get a buisiness degree the knowledge could be good to fall back on (starting your own buisiness, managing your money,ext..). I'll close with this, Doing something I thouroghly enjoyed for a living was my number one priority when I was 22 years old. I do love my job but it was not a very lucrative job. So just within the last three months I left my job and started my own company in my field of work. I'm doing a little better now than just "working for the man", but hopefully through hard work and making good decisions it will pay off. I guess to make my point short it would be to go get what you want but keep your ideas, education, and options open (don't through all your eggs in one basket).
