Pretty much anyone there could be making a lot more money elsewhere, working shorter hours, and be under a lot less stress. For most of us, we're there because we want to be. I don't love every minute of being at work, and I see some horrible stuff (in fact, I sometimes take "Cellar breaks" at work just to clear my head). But I've done the corporate thing, and I felt like I was wasting my life on something that didn't really matter. I make less than half as much money now, but am much, much happier!
