Not really, but the short of it is that I gave up my career as a successful software dev in the bay area and sold everything I own to work in diving.

I used to hate getting up in the morning and was consumed with stress about trivial work bullshit. These days I work in the South Pacific and split my time between environmental projects and training new divers.

It's not going to make me rich, at all, but I honestly don't care. I would trade the decade I wasted in front of computer screens to have started doing this a few years earlier.
