If you've ever fished for a living, the argument seems ludicrous.

Fishing can be treacherous work. You might get rich with a big haul or die when the whether turns bad.

There are many factors, enviromental pollution, ecosystem changing, etc. It's not unusual for these small local fishermen to have very very bad years. And it's not just small outfits that hit tough times, do some research on the tuna industry and decline in tuna population.

Reality doesn't always go along with our cozy zen story. We haven't even mentioned the fact that turning your hobby into a job is quite often a very bad idea.
