What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I think it's helping people accomplish things so that they can succeed. There is always a variety, so there's always a new topic and a new problem.
I work with lawyers a lot. Other lawyers tend to be intelligent, interesting people regardless of their personalities.
They're not all people I might want to be friends with, but at least they are typically someone who has thought through what they're doing, hopefully is well prepared. They also present things in a way that is understandable.
That makes the working relationship easier and more fun.
