    People who made it that far up are usually very driven, their job is their whole identity.

    It’s probably hard to walk away from something they dedicated so much of their life to. More so if it involved sacrificing time for relationships, family, friends, etc.

      Also their job is probably pretty good. I mean, you probably don’t really have bad days the way the rest of the working world does.

      I’m self employed and I love what I do, I can’t imagine ever walking away from it. I slow down my pace as I get older, but I won’t stop completely.
