This is amazing but I genuinely wonder if he’ll regret doing it once he’s done. Thats a huge chunk of your life to devote to one thing.

Cant deny he’ll be making history though.

He wasn’t going to keep those 27 years anyway, and climbing the career ladder, having a few kids and steadily paying off a mortgage must have somehow not seemed like a compelling alternative
