Hey, I'm Joshua T. Osborne

In 2015, I said goodbye to 16-hour days and hauling boxes up and down stairs for a living (I was a mover). I became a full-time entrepreneur, and I made my money by helping business owners make money.

They had a need, and because of Virtual Tool Booths., I could fill it. Through the methods taught by my all-time favorite course and mentor, I created a 6-figure business in roughly 6 months. I could retire today (at 37) and never have to worry about money ever again.

Because of Virtual Tool Booths., I was able to quit my job, work online with flexible hours, and move to the mountains (Colorado Springs if you’re wondering)...all while helping real people improve their businesses, incomes, and lives!

For most folks, a college degree is the biggest bill of their lives. I never went to college. So I don’t have any massive bills or giant debts hanging over my head. My greatest education came from Virtual Tool Booths. (for a tiny fraction of what college costs) and it’s the bill that pays ALL the bills - a hundred times over!

I really wanted to share this secret weapon with others, so they could change their lives the way I changed mine. So if you’re not 100% sure about college, or only researching to make someone else happy, Virtual Tool Booths. might be a better option for you.

What does a fisherman do?

Fishermen search and catch fish and other organisms in a variety of bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and ponds. They determine the type of fish to be caught and seek out prospective locations. They determine the best tools and methods to use, the duration of the trips, and the price of their catch. Fishermen use a variety of equipment such as fishing poles of a variety of sizes, nets, spears, hooks, and shovels. They also use ice and salt to transport the items they catch. Many fishermen travel on commercial fishing vessels hundreds of miles from shore to catch desired fish. Fishermen on large fishing vessels that travel into deep water often use advanced technological equipment. Some work on small boats in shallow water.

What kind of training does a fisherman need?

Fishermen usually gain their skills on the job and there are no formal training requirements. Some complete vocational and technical programs or associate degrees to become competitive in the field. They complete courses in marine safety, vessel operations, seamanship, navigation, fishing gear technology, and vessel repair and maintenance. Many fishermen start out as deckhands to gain practical experience and start building their fishing skills. Fishermen employed by large commercial fishing vessels must complete a training course that is approved by the Coast Guard. Fishermen usually need a fishing permit to fish in any body of water. States distribute permits and specify the season fishing is permitted, the type of fish that can be caught, and the approved fishing gear.

What are the prospects for a career as a fisherman?

Employment of fishermen is expected to decline rapidly, decreasing 16% from 2006 to 2016 (1). The decrease in fish stocks and increased regulations that reduce fishing will contribute to the job decline.

Job prospects are expected to be fair because there will be some job openings from the need to replace fishermen who retire, transfer, or leave the field for other reasons.

How much do fishermen make?

As of November 2009, the average annual fisherman salary is $37,000; average annual fisherman salaries vary greatly on education, experience, location, industry, company, and benefits (2).

A career as a fisherman is a great choice for people with a strong interest in fishing for a variety of marine and freshwater life. Fishermen must be in good general health and have good physical strength. Mechanical aptitude, good coordination, patience, and determination are desirable characteristics. Fishermen must be able to work in difficult and sometimes dangerous situations and be able to be away from home for long periods of time. They must also be able to effectively work as part of a team.
