An esteemed colleague once said to me a job must be "ethical, profitable and enjoyable" . I value this philosophy but reckon its up to the individual to prioritise those three.

I find as I get older its more important to acheive something tangible and constructive. I like to finish the day and see something real for my efforts, not a pile of paper or an updated database. I need the touchy feely thing.... and yes I can't keep my hands of a piece of freshly dressed timber.

I like building the limestone walls because they will probably still be there in a 100 years time. I like the ideas that my Grandkids might be able to say "look, Grandad built that"

FWIW

Cheers
