    Idk, sometimes it can be great. I worked on wind turbines for a while and one of my favorite memories is when I had the privilege of watching a beautiful sunrise from the top of a turbine. The day to day of working with a small team to kick ass at something that long-term helped provide power to thousands of homes was very fulfilling. I’d go back in a heartbeat if they built wind turbines in localities that don’t suck (technically they do but good luck getting one of those site positions in Hawaii or the other small desirable wind farms).

    I don’t think any hobby can approximate the fulfillment that comes with doing something materially significant for society.
