  I will never beat Bill Gates, put it that way. It depends on who you work for, short term project work can be paid quite well when you have experience and the more qualified you are.
  
  But you can’t easily walk into the job centre and find a jungle job. Particularly when you are starting out, you are often expected to volunteer your time, because so many other people want to do the same thing! So I ended up working to save up money before I did some of the trips I have done. Now, thankfully, I am fully funded to do what I do.
