Perhaps more to the point - in the corporate world I felt that at most 50%, more like 30%, of the very significant amount of energy I expended really amounted to anything useful - the rest just fed the bureaucratic machine, and was mostly nonsense.
Now I feel like well over 95% of my effort goes towards some useful and meaningful end result. Said effort may be dirty, dusty, itchy, dangerous, and plain hard, but its going towards a good result.

I know I'm going back to the first page of the discussion  but the comments reminded me of something I heard a few years ago. Any idea what the job with the highest sense of satisfaction is?
Heavy Equipment Operator. Who'd have thunk it, dude driving a road grader or dozer has the highest job satisfaction. Seems that research showed HEOs were able to actually access their progress on a daily basis, even hourly which factors greatly into job satisfaction. Just a thought.
