Seriously, the career path may be mysterious and could signify that you would be working at night. Hmmmm, security comes to mind. A night watchman? or a secret agent?
Why is everyone pussyfooting around?
Or a smuggler, I say, or an assassin. Both of whom work by the light of the moon.
In 1979, when I was working in the Australian Taxation Office, the income tax return of an assassin (he called himself a "paid marksman") crossed my desks. In those days, secrecy and privacy was important, so we couldn't show the return to the police. In that year of income, he was paid $50,000 twice (a huge sum, in a time when you could live very well indeed on $10,000). Deductions he claimed as necessarily incurred in earning his income, to the best of my recollection, included such things as gun club membership, new guns, ammunition, travel expenses (his two targets were jet-setters), hotel accommodation, stake-out accommodation (flats he rented and put one folding chair in) etc etc.
He did the right thing. In those days, the Taxation Office's brief was to make sure people declared their income - all their income including the illegal bits - and that they got tax deductions for any portion of their income that was spent in earning their income. He spent bit in his line of work - but he got paid very, very big. We were amused, in fact, very amused. We showed his tax return around hte office to make sure the rest of us were amused as well. Then we assessed it as normal. He was allowed his deductions - they were all legitimate assassin expenses.
