Heh. "The grass is always greener..."
Despite my subsequent education and career, I spent my days as a young(er) buck logging in Northern Minnesota. Hard work, and logging equipment is notorious for breaking down. But after all is said and done, having experience on both sides of that particular fence and looking back from the perspective of a comfortable retirement, I think, had I been able to make a good living out of it, I'd still be swinging a chainsaw and charging through the brush on mechanical monsters.
There is a lot to be said for having the freedom to curse at the top of your lungs whenever the urge strikes. The trees and squirrels don't seem to care.
