I think you should try it. I have always thought that Albert Einstein was able to focus a lot more on his research thanks to his low pay/low stress job.

I have also been thinking on trying, it is a bit difficult to try that with family, but I guess it could work.

Do try it, it would be nice if you share your results after.

Yeah, I might try. I'm currently in college, though thinking about just taking a leave of absence.

There seem to be a good number of people who are happy working low pay jobs. I can't help but think that there's an unfair social stigma against it.

When you transcend being concerned with what other people think - that's when you truly become free.

Take the leave of absence and enjoy a semester of doing something different. Then with that experience under your belt, you will make better decisions for your future.
