Some people just want power and recognition which you don't get if you just travel and enjoy life.
I could also so it being pretty exciting being at the forefront of a new technology and wanting to put all the things you've learned or been researching to use vs just quitting and feeling like you're wasting that time you've put in. Probably doesn't feel like a job if this is the case.
Yea I know a guy at work, he been here from past 18 years. He starts at 7:30am and finishes after 6pm. At first I thought may be he's working but now its been more than 1year. He genuinely enjoys sitting in the office. Poor fella is divorced and have no friends but enjoys the little power of position he has at work. Lol
Ya there's a guy like that at my work too, he gets mad when he's forced to spend his vacation days. Love asking him when he gets back if he had a nice vacation, always get a hard no
And my work is super boring, mostly solving server errors, barely any human interaction at all
