I don't know if I'm going to quit 'knowledge work', but its sadly telling that the most satisfying project I've had all year is refurbing my mower deck with some paint and new blades and bearings. I used to go to work with my dad and we'd bust out torches and welders and saws and compressors. Neither of my kids had anything beyond a passing interest in computers and my job (infosec) is completely invisible to them. There are definitely rewarding parts of the vocation and I'm still glad I'm in it, but visceral satisfaction can be difficult to find. I don't know what this has to do with anything lol.
