Or, perhaps not even as much of a 'job' as just an activity. Like, let's get the lads together and go a-viking.

Comparable to, say ... camping. You could gather some friends and go camping. And while you're camping, you're a camper. But that doesn't mean being a camper is your job, and it's definitely not a hereditary title.
