I made my own bacon a few months back and it was surprisingly easy to do and unbelievably delicious. The only difficult part is getting access to a smoker, because I live in a big city.

But it was so good it made me think of junking the legal career and becoming an "artisanal" bacon entrepreneur. The pork belly you buy for $1.50/lb. sells for $15/lb. once it's made into bacon.
