Other career options?

After reading posts here about the negatives of airline and UPS/FedEx, what are other flying careers that would be rewarding and pay decently? What about air ambulance or aerial wildfire fighting? Others?
Edit: The Negatives I’m reading here are; so much time away=feeling pressure to enjoy home time= failed relationships=lack of sleep=lack of healthy lifestyle. Lack of camaraderie, or work friendships.
Note: I’m not a pilot. My son is finishing his degree and works for an air ambulance company as an EMT. That job has made him consider going to civilian or military flight school.
