I'm jealous of these guys salaries but would I want to play hockey for a living? I really don't think so, the lifestyle would make me really unhappy.

I'm jealous of the NFL lifestyle. 6-7 month offseason depending on if you make the playoffs or not, only one game a week, and it's not even a requirement that you live in the same city as you play in during the season. I wouldn't exactly want to be a defensive/offensive lineman due to a really short career window likely ending with brain damage, but any other position seems like a dream career
