I fly a helicopter doing primarily fire fighting with the USFS. I have been flying since 1982, although the first 8 years I flew in the back seat as a systems operator chasing submarines...cold war days.
Every day is slightly different....I could be lighting a fire one day doing prescribed, or controlled burns, and the next day putting them out. I love my job and James Michener said it best:

The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.

There is a cost---I live in hotels for an average of 300 days each year....
