No one has pointed out that rent is wated money. Say you rent a place for $1200.00 per month over 5 years, that's $72,000. Or you buy, and your mortgage payment is the same at $1200.00. At the end of 5 years, you can sell the house, and either break even, make a profit, or even if you have to sell for less than you owe, you will still be ahead of where you would be if you had rented.

OK. I am an accountant, which this list says is number 10. I used to be in construction (residential), and was 50 times happier there than I could ever be in this job. The pay was just a tad less, and yet it was a way more satisfying job on an emotional level. If the economy wasn't so bad, I would be back out in the field in a heartbeat!
