Second thought is "nature photography." Get the skills and background for a job with National Geographic or some such org. Maybe try for a spot on a TV nature show (not necessary to be the host). Visit strange lands, see strange animals, eat them. Sort of Zimmern (whose show I hate) meets NatGeo.

First thought: smuggling endangered animals. But that depends on how you feel about having a few dozen rare lizards taped to your body! ;-)
