Judging by comments on this website, it looks like most woodworkers are not very happy with their day jobs unless their job is woodworking related, of course. I was wandering, though, how many people love their day job. I'm not talking about tolerating or liking their day job. I'm talking about really liking their job.
As for myself, I love my job and I think it is way more exciting than woodworking. The reason I like woodworking is because it relaxes me way more than anything else. In case you are wondering, I am a Computer Science professor at University of Florida and I spend most of my time doing research in Databases and related areas. While in woodworking I am sure I'm doing things tried many times before, in my research area I sure I'm doing things that nobody ever thought about.
So, do you really, really like your day job. If you do, tell us what it is.
