Earning enough to live comfortably in the world?

It has been the larger organizations (international, bilateral,
and large non-profits) who have hired me as an ecotourism consultant,
not the communities themselves. I can imagine that there are
many of us on the consulting side who would love to have the
external funding to work with a community over a longer period
of time to inform, learn and maybe even join the community and
participate in its future. But there are few sources of funding.
The scale of operations and the profit margins at the community
level are pretty small, so I don't expect that to change any
time soon. One obstacle to consulting at the community level
is identifying the entity that will hire, supervise, and pay
the consultant. Many community efforts are really collections
of several separate small-scale entrepreneurs. There may not
be a community chamber of commerce or tourism association with
a budget for hiring consultants at the startup phase.

Many people would see the 70s as a critical decade in changing
cricket
almost from a civilised pastime, a leisuretime occupation, to
when it really became professional. People stopped playing cricket
on Saturdays away from their work, and they started to go to
work at cricket. Do you think commercialisation of the sport
has changed some of the civilities within it?
