Well personally I consider filming animals and observing their behaviour to be a pretty important job. More important than stacking shelfs or sitting in an office doing some meaningless work, atleast.
But anyway, I do agree that he was an idiot to not have any protection though. From the clips of him talking to the camera he came off as a really arrogant guy, thinking of himself as some holier-than-thou, 'eco-warrior'. In the article it said he had been living with the bears for 5 years, and had only recently stopped carrying bear spray (whatever the hell that is), so he probably was pretty confident that he wouldn't be attacked at that point. I feel sorry for his girlfriend more than anything, she must have really fucking loved him to stay with him out in the wilderness surrounded by bears.
