Do you know anyone who did some drastic changes to their life/career and it didn't work out the way they wanted? [I Wonder About Careers]
Like quitting the job, or leaving something good for the better, but it rather ended up badly?

A few,yes. This dude I used to know was a truck driver in Canada. He decided to leave his family and go back to Europe to reignite the flame with his high school sweetheart. It didn’t really work out,couldn’t come back to Canada,tried to find a job as a trucker there but nobody wanted to hire him because he was over 50. So he ended up working in a kitchen. Tried to sell some cleaning products (or whatever the hell it was) from Europe to people he knew in Canada but nobody was interested in buying. He was broke and alone. 2 years ago,he was diagnosed with cancer. He fought it for a while but gave up. He jumped in front of a train on Christmas eve. Damn son! Life.. don’t f**k up

My brother in law worked for a very wealthy man who owned his own plane and a fleet of luxury cars as well as an 18 year old pretty daughter. He left his wife and kids and moved in with the daughter thinking he would be set for life. After a few weeks the daughter dumped him and her father fired him for dishonesty. He came crawling back and made several weak attempts at suicide.

@SW-User Usually happens when people want to start business. There's a lot of unknowns that may go wrong when you least expect them.

@SW-User Arrogance isn't a good thing when you want to run a business.
