Why isn't everyone doing it then ?

Freelance Handymen are more like your "Adventurers," or you can join a Guil-I mean a Union and perform a more specific field of work.

In reality, a comparable narrative of a person who wanders into unknown territory and dungeons to fight monsters for reward is more like a McGuyver, or a self-made Operator.

Because kids these days want that ever so useful bachelors degree in psychology, or some bullshit certificate in videogame design.

>>49505534
That's why those kids my age are bagging my groceries, and I am building their houses and roads.

>Are Handymen the modern day adventurers?
Nah, only muslim terorists born in non-muslim countries conform to the Hero's Journey model.

>>49505534
Then why are they acting all jealous when someone is actually paid accordingly for the work they do ?

Former handyman here. No, no they are not.

I suppose the travel the world and kill brown people in the desert thing would be, but they lack the freedom of a typical murder hobo. They go where they're told. When they're not out fighting, they're running security - usually for the Navy or on a base. It has far less personal freedom than even a civilian job.

t. Navy

>>49507817
People who spend a fuck ton time standing around.

Better yet,
>Weapons designers are literally crafting characters
>Politicians are faces who decided to leave their party behind
>Mercenaries and bounty hunters

Wait, that's a thing? What are the qualifications?

>>49507983
The qualifications are "be able to break into corporations" and cha:19. Look up defcon (defense convention) videos on YouTube. There are a lot of talks on the very subject

>>49507983
Have a very particular set of skills; skills acquired over a very long career. Skills that make you a nightmare for corporations.
