I'm not even sure the work is more fulfilling. My wife is scientist and she mostly just works in isolation teaching herself things. My job is much more collaborative; I get a lot more opportunities to be mentored by peers and learn the state of the art. To me that is incredibly valuable. I'm not so arrogant as to think that I could be just as good at my job if I worked alone.
