1. Electrical design engineer (senior)
2. I like working in a small business where I get to work directly with a product, and all of it's facets. I program C and assembly, design hardware, board layouts, write manuals and more. Pretty much work by myself most of the time, so I do all the bug hunting too.
3. The pay. I take a big hit for #2. I would also rather be outdoors, but it does pay well enough to afford land with a view. Working on the pay thing... hopefully I wont have to leave for "greener" pastures.
Still, I am glad I left landscape design, electronics has always been a hobby, and I got to work for the company I bought hobby kits from when I was a kid. Pretty cool doing your hobby for a job! It has lost it's charm over the years, but it is probably burn-out talking.
