Good Catch?

So...this past weekend Discovery Channel has had a marathon of the show called "Deadliest Catch". This show features the adventures of crab fisherman and their journey to make money as they fish for crabs just off the coast of Alaska. I've watched a few episodes of it, and then I started wondering whether the job is actually worth it. So I've done a little bit of research in which one source reported that a crab fisherman makes on average 40,000 to 50,000 dollars annually, and another that said they can make up to 150,000 dollars on just one trip out. I mean I guess they do it because they love it and there is a chance that they will make a lot of money, just like any high risk high reward profession. Personally I wouldn't think its worth it, with all the hard physical labor, cold weather, time away from home, and chance of death Im not so sure it is worth the money. And plus if you were to only make 40,000 it sounds like you would be needing a job when your not out fishing, so if its a hobby, well I'm sorry I'll stick to basketball, at least it wont kill me. Just my two sense on this topic.
