Well I'm a chef which is a trade, and I do it because I enjoy it. I went to university for an arts degree (dropped out because I didn't see a light at the end of tunnel), and also went to school to be an emt, but chose to be a cook instead. The money is ok, not great, but anywhere I feel like going I can have a job the day I move there, which not many people can say about their profession. I think lots of the trades have a specific artistic feeling behind them. You can ask the same thing about accountants, lawyers etc how they can enjoy adding and subtracting (i'm obviously downplaying what they actually do, and I understand there is much more to it), or whatever most lawyers do. Everyone is good at different things, and I find people get the most enjoyment not from necessarily what they do, but how well they do it, and how much they progress throughout their career. Its nice being good at your job.
