having pursued a career that made all the sense in the world, and wasn't my passion, I get it. I don't think he'll chase it past point of making any sense. More than anything, his decision, & I have zero info. Certain personalities, there's nothing more soul sucking & sheer misery than sitting at a job you hate (so you can buy crap you don't need. Yeah I borrowed/stole that line, and yeah I know that 500k-1m home is pure necessity)
