Sure beats the heck out of sitting in a cubicle 9-5 or more a la "Office Space." What other field allows you the flexibility, creativity, potential for unlimited income (albeit potential for very limited income as well), the chance to meet some wonderful people (and some bratty ones too), and the opportunity to make your own path?

There have been days when I swore that if I won the lottery I'd still do this for a living. However, these days I see a lot of families in a lot of trouble and that's not even a little fun. It does wear on you. I go to sleep every night counting my blessings, being thankful for everything that happened that day, and it does help. But I think having fun again on a regular basis is a ways off! (Sure hope I'm wrong!) This has occasionally been a ton of fun!

Rewarding, exciting, frustrating, intense. I didn't have fun in my previous career as a stock broker. I had fun times but it was never while working with a client or co-worker or fellow professional. Fun happens for me when I don't have to work. When I don't have to impress or engage or convert or sell. Fun happens when work doesn't.
