Well, he spent all his saving, to go back to school, to graduate and get his dream job; only to make a quarter of his previous salary! Talk of stupid! I don’t think they should be breeding.
Yes, that’s pretty dumb. It’s one thing if you have your “nut” saved up and want to do a career change that’s less stressful in your older years. It’s another thing to burn through all of your retirement savings and forgo 2 years of income to get a job making 1/4 of what you already made.
“Go back to school” is usually synonymous with “postpone work”.
