Working in the hospitality industry can be great fun. Not a huge money earner but you can meet some interesting people along the way.
I did 18 years self employed doing sightseeing & snorkelling trips by private charter. Sort of a limo trip on the water catering to the very top of the tourism market. Just me, a cellphone, a diary for bookings & a boat. No extra crew needed. Most trips were 4 hours long. No canned commentary. No PA system. Clients could have as much or as little chat as they wanted & subject matter was whatever they wanted to ask about. Toughest trips were the ones with just one older couple onboard. Over the years they have said about everything there is to say to each other so they take turns at questioning the skipper.
