  • I like what I do
  • I get to travel and see the world
  • I'm paid handsomely
  • It's a niche skill set that is hard to find
  • plenty of job security
  • I like my coworkers

...so yeah, I'd say it's fulfilling

EDIT: To give a vague privacy friendly answer as to what I do, it's a particular kind of IT, and it involves highly specialized purpose-built server clusters that spend most of their time on the backdeck of ships.
