Not all construction work is equally enjoyable. For example, enlarging a drilled hole is boring, but fastening pieces of metal together is riveting.
Here's my introduction:
I was a cabinetmaker before I became a theoretical physicist. I got started late in life, partly because of some hard life lessons.
I've taught general physics, quantum mechanics, classical mechanics and mathematics. I loved teaching, but hated the poverty.
I then got work in patent analysis and mining patent data for lawyers. It paid well, but crushed my soul.
I finally found work doing patent and literature analysis for researchers, where I'm at now, and I love it. The balance is right, and I'm a happy nerd.
Married for 40 years, been living for 60. My wife is still my best friend.
If I could chuck it all and do what I love, I'd be a cabinetmaker/woodworker again. It's a great hobby, but a tough way to make a living.
I never know what the hell to say, but I'll say it here.
