Reason #1: It allows me to feel useful apart from what other people say or feel about me. I don't have to have as much affirmation from relationships with my fellow humans to make me feel fulfilled.
Reason #2: I get paid now rather than later. There's more stability with a salaried job.
Reason #3: I don't go crazy. I have a bit more purpose in life.
Reason #4: It opens me to new experiences and people. Like the collection of people I met at the harvest for the winery. I might do that again next year just because it was a good time.
That's all the reasons I can think of right now I think...
Reason #5: It forces me to bend to other's will. To be humble. To wake up at 6:30 AM and work 'till dark. To do things I never wanted to do ever in my life.
Wow, I am spoiled rotten.
