"The best part of my job is this feeling that you get once you've completed a larger project. It's nice to know you've done that. And this is sort of going to be in place for a long time. The person that would like this job is somebody who's hands on, likes to figure out how things work and doesn't mind getting a little bit dirty once in awhile. Some days are hard, some days are easy,  but it's a good balance for somebody that wants to stay active." ~ Jack, Plumber
