Answer 1

You may have to compromise. I can think of one extreme example; become a plastic surgeon. Spend 40 weeks a year doing nose jobs, nips, tucks and bust  enhancements, 12 weeks a year fixing cleft palates in Kenya or Peru.

There are others. I just threw that one out as an example. You can't raise a family on a PCV's salary. The National Geographic is to photographers what the NBA is to point guards. I wouldn't count on it, either.
