Best pilot 'role'

Re-posting in this forum as a Moderator in their infinite wisdom and 12000hours airline experience thought it wasn't relevant to getting an entry level job or securing sponsorship on the few tagged schemes.

The aim is to open people's eye's to other opportunities, rather than simply airline flying which still seems to hold the gaze of most wannabees though is becoming a greater financial gamble than it's ever been and perhaps also less rewarding than it's ever been.

Not thinking about just earning a crust from flying, but what are peoples preferences and most rewarding roles in civilian flying and why (add any other roles to the initial list as you see fit):

Glider Towing
Aerial Photography
Instructing
Parachute Dropping
Aerial Survey
Scenic Flights
Crop Dusting
Air Taxi
Ferry Flying
Air Ambulance
Police Helicopter
Airline Flying
