Sure you get paid a lot but I can't imagine fixing clogged toilets or fixing refrigerators everyday to be something that is very stimulating.
If I am wrong please correct me.

Some trades, absolutely. I know people who do things like plumbing and framing merely because the take home pay is good, not because they enjoy it. However, one of my best friends is an industrial electrician and he
love his job. Sure, some people may balk at how dangerous it can be (a few weeks ago he was crawling along on some one foot wide beams directly above a smelting boiler... without a safety harness
), but to him every day is a new challenge and that's what he enjoys. Another friend is a site supervisor for a large, well known landscaping company and he loves the fact that he gets to spend his days outside working with his hands, making various properties and parts of infrastructures look better.
