Hello John Blake! The people I described to start this
thread really do "love" their jobs. Also, I can relate as
I have been there but was unable to sustain it (for a bunch of reasons). Anyway, I know it can be done. Finding something you love and making money doing it is pretty tough to beat. In my case, and many others, the main requirement is working for yourself
and calling the shots. At its best it is pretty good.

I don't dispute that these people really live their jobs. I just don't have friends or family that do.
I enjoyed my work, found it challenging and rewarding. If I earned the same income at 1/3 the hours I might have even loved it!!
The problem I had with hi-tech work is that it's fun, challenging, and rewarding. But putting in 40-50 hours a week gets old fast and leaves little room for hobbies and activities that are even more fun. I think this happens with many jobs and careers. People like the work, but not enough to have it dominate their lives.
