So I've been thinking the last few days, why do we do what we do? I know we all need to make a living, we all have bills to pay and families to feed, but I'm talking deeper than that. For example, it was 5 degrees this morning with 20+ mph winds. I Run an old air track, no cab, just me and the elements. I'm not stupid, I have a college education, a degree in business management with a minor in computer science, I could be in a warm office getting fat and drinking coffee, but that's not for me. I love being outside, I love drilling and blasting rock and the challenges that come with it. I could make a lot more money in an office, but I'd be unhappy. I'm getting ready to head out of town for a couple weeks on a nice challenging job, but I have to leave my little girls with my folks. I hate this part of my job, maybe that's what's got me thinking, why do I do this job. Is it worth it to be happy and miserable at the same time? Is it worth it to stand out in freezing conditions all winter and 100 degree temps in the summer?
