I wouldn't consider bounty hunting to be a job, simply because it doesn't provide a consistent income. You could not rely on it to provide your monthly expenses, although there may be occasions when you earn a decent amount. Best to keep it as a sideline and ensure you have a stable income from elsewhere. I find it fun, even though I don't do as many as I used to; there just isn't the returns to make it worthwhile. Some companies seem to be offering good rates, but once the opportunity comes to cash in, you often find that the rate on offer is considerably below the initial one. Not blaming the individual companies, it's just the current market conditions that are hitting most of the new releases.
