I grew up in a community in the North of Scotland that was dominated by fishing (more oil these days) and most boat-owning skippers were pretty much risk-seeking entrepreneurs - with pretty big rewards possible (certainly well into F-you money).
The chapter on Iceland in Boomering Michael Lewis where he describes how the risk seeking fishermen were maybe not the best choice to become investment bankers reminded me a lot of people I knew when I was younger.
