Don't underestimate the strength of golden handcuffs.
I don't, but well-paid lawyers are significantly more likely to quit their job for some low-stress activity than someone with no relevant training is likely to quickly acquire a ridiculously high-paying job.
Lots of people with no relevant training spend a lot of time and money trying to acquire the relevant training to get a high-paying job. I'd guess that this is more common than people quitting a high paying job for a low paying job with less stress. How many people start a law or medical degree every year relative to the number that quit those jobs for something less stressful and lower paid?
overestimate -> underestimate?
Thankyou, fixed.
