What kind of career, other than a hunter, would be good for someone with Rainsford's skills and attitudes in "The Most Dangerous Game"?

With Rainsford's vast background as a hunter on virtually
all continents of the earth, I think he would be an excellent travel and adventure
writer. His various kills, from the Cape buffalo to the Amazon jaguar, would all make
for good reading. Rainsford seems intelligent and well-spoken, so with the help of a
good editor, I'm sure he would be successful with this new profession. He could
certainly recount his story about Zaroff's "most dangerous game" on Ship-Trap Island,
although he may have to change the final scene when he kills
Zaroff.
