We are all different.
I am very close with my kids (they both return to the nest with alacrity), love and love returned from my wife, have great friends...very fortunate son.
But I love to work, love what I do - the
content of the effort. I truly do. You guys do your thing, I'll do mine.
I just got to the hotel and will be getting ready to meet with a customer tomorrow who has submitted a PO to us to build their 10 day endurance UAS. We'll work the T&C's and move on...no other place I'd rather be and it has little to do with the money.
Perhaps the key is I do control my schedule, can take a meritorious afternoon off as needed
