Answering emails and calls from home when I'm not actually "working" makes me want to vomit! Plus all the office politics, "merit based" raises/promitions, butt kissing, etc in Corporate America.

Not to mention that while we are away a lot, we also have a ton more of time OFF than those people, in addition much better schedule flex when ones gets some seniority as well.

Honestly, as imperfect as this profession is, I can't imagine doing anything else and being content.
