I love doing research. I published a minor unimportant paper in undergrad and had a blast doing it. Then at graduation I was offered a well paid job in the industry. Decided to pursue it as opposed to spending 5-6 more years in academia looking for grants. Would love to go back and get a PhD, but the economics just don't make sense for me. For now, it's a retirement plan.
