long term the office is likely better for your health but man actually doing things you can admire afterwards is so effing satisfying.

To paraphrase office space, "No man, no one says shit like 'a case of the Mondays' I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that."

Same. Left corporate middle management with a healthy salary to work a trade and I am very satisfied with my decision. I sleep like a baby since I go to bed with a clear conscience every night.
