There used to be rediculous money in the fishing world, until 1989 and the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Since then, even in areas that were not directly impacted by the spill, the money has been a lot harder to come by. Don't expect to get a job in a cannery and come away with anything more than an $8 per hour job. As far as fishing on a boat is concerned, you make your money on a percentage basis, and if your boat doesn't catch much, you don't make much regardless of how hard and long you work. Its not as glorious as you'd think. Also, crab fishing in the berring sea is one of the most dangerous jobs in the world.
