In addition to the fact that I've always liked taking calculated risks and gaining greater reward, I also like working on things nobody else has done before. I'm the kind of guy who sees something that sucks and then promptly fixes it. Then I give it to my friends or check it back in. I also dislike working for other people, I'm starting to realize more and more. I like the fruits of my labor going directly to me, and having a real effect on whether I have food in my tummy that night. When business sucks, I work harder; I know it is _because of me_ that it is failing, and I can fix it. When business is booming, I know that it is _because of me_ that business is booming, and I can continue on making it happen. Continue on being proud of what it was that I had accomplished. That feeling just doesn't happen to me at a big firm.
