I get to invoke and tease people about one of thier biggest fears that terrify them and they pay me to do it.

I've only had two people back out on me. After they make it through they are always so happy they conquered it, it's awesome watching the process from start to finish.

I also sometimes remember that my job feels routine to me and I do it without thinking most it the time but it's a crippling fear for most people and I do it 5 to 15 times a day on a tropical island without a second thought.
