In Oblivion the Fighters guild is just flat out a Medieval mercenary company that's adapted to "High volume, small scale" work (though nothing says they don't participate in larger conflicts), and profits off of having a great reputation and relationship with the government. They even have a legal competitor that also flat out calls itself a Mercenary company. Career-Adventurers are also somewhat rare in DnD.
I mean, why the fuck would anyone normal want to be an adventurer? It's not fun. This rounds us back to my point about Fantasy anime, and GS in particular. Kids want to go be an adventurer because it's fun? I suppose you could at least just say that some kids are stupid and don't understand how horrifying it would be, but adults? Adults talking about adventures being fun? Fun? I practically swallowed my tongue when that loli trash elf said that shit, "adventures are supposed to be fun", fucking chiding the guy for being practical and treating a life and death situation like it could go sideways instantly, which it absolutely can.
Aside from, "fun" think of stupid kids who grew up on stupid stories about SOME stupid kids becoming world class adventurers wiping out armies and such
They think they'll become No.1 or close enough
And TBF, part of the "fun" there is supposedly the whole "Look, we're going off to distant lands being Adventurer-Archeologists, this place here was once the ruins of an ancient civilization. Why the FUCK aren't YOU interested in doing a quest that isn't the same small mooks over and over again!?" and "We've ONLY been killing small goblins for the past few weeks ONLY them. Where are the other mooks coming in!?"
Closest way to justify calling an adventure "fun" is if you're a Blood Knight who wants to go around wandering the earth and encountering new foes and seeing stuff most ordinary people don't get to have and also get a big cash return or discover ancient jewels and the like
GS mostly just goes off to some backwaters that may not even have ancient ruins or even sinister masterminds more than half his time. Not even likely to get good loot, like ever, I bet if he relied solely on his funds from said poor villages he'd barely be able to afford even a minor repair for his armour let alone proper food....he gets to stay for free with his childhood friends' farm and even her uncle thinks the dude is crazy and a kid who never grew up
