I love the: lack of exposure to toxic chemicals (usually), the lack of harsh loud work environments (usually), the comfy chair and peaceful office space (eventually), and the fact that the money is good enough pretty much seals the deal. I like working with my hands, making things, wearing ear and eye protection, cutting down trees with chainsaws, replacing engines in cars: on my own terms, not as something I have to do 250 days a year to avoid homelessness.
