Probably could have landed a high-paying job right away, but was comfortable (never spent money over the years), so lacked urgency, and had never had to go through the uncomfortable process of job-hunting, ever, so he just avoided doing it. So it has become this massive, multi-year procrastination to the point where the task is much more difficult, after this much time off of steady work. So even "successful" people can have that de-motivating fear. Anyway, +1. | |
