Professional Hackers for Hackathons

How do you feel about being a professional hacker that gets paid for visiting hackathons across the world? You'd essentially be a hired gun by the hackathon organizers to make killer apps and make the hackathon look good.

Thoughts?

That actually sounds pretty amazing to me. Constantly learning and playing with new tools, and in new fields.

The only likely downside would be if the hackathons were spaced too closely together. That would be very rough on your body/health.
