So for a bit of context I’m about halfway through highschool and spend pretty much every free minute that I can fishing, I’m also fortunate to be able to go to college if I want to. Personally, I don’t care all that much about how much money I would be making as long as I could live comfortably and do something I love (probably fishing). My parents seem pretty adamant on me going to college (again, I’m very grateful that I even have to opportunity to go) but I don’t think a lot of what I want to do after highschool requires a degree, so I’m just looking for some advice on careers in fishing or something related that might require some sort of degree or education, or just anything else that doesn’t, I just want to figure out what I wanna do early on, thanks.

If you are thinking of commercial fishing, take your time. I worked with a guy that lost everything trying to get started. Commercial fishermen are a special bond, they look out for each other. Dont buy a boat and start fishing, you will fail. Get to know some of them from your area. Take your time and it wouldn't hurt to hang at the docks and observe, but don't crowd.if they befriend you, they will give the best advice, and may even invite you out with them.
