Right I get that, my job is diverse and it scratches that itch, but it does it for someone else's bottom line, I just collect a paycheck that doesn't reflect profits.

We work in an industry where we have the luxury of skinning cats in 1000s of ways, so get out of your comfort zone and sharpen your knife, it's quite enjoyable and rewarding.
