Do you like what you do? Do you like your industry but dislike your job? Do you like your job but not the industry? If the salary was $200k what would your ideal job be?

I like my current job. I'm working on automating tree core sample scanning by creating an affordable tree core sample scanner for a university lab. Since the machines normally cost 6k+ to buy, a few other students and I were hired to design and build a machine with a budget of approximately 200$ along with equipment they already have such as a USB microscope camera. Currently, we are waiting on a PCB we ordered to arrive so we can put everything together, but that won't be for another week or three. Thankfully we managed to stay in budget, but we lack the multicore loading aspect that the 6k+ machines have. However, they are interested in expanding the budget to see if we could do that since the PCB was designed to be able to drive multiple motors so we wouldn't have to design a second one.
