Very true, and I must say I'm jealous of the opportunity to even walk away from something like Google. One of the things I love about this story, however, is that it is a classic example of a person going through Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Perhaps that's just because I finished a first year Psych course. Still, I find these kind of stories interesting; the sort of, "Even with all my ambition and success I was still wanting for something more" story. I just finished reading David Mitchell's Back Story and it's rather similar. A memoir of achieving great ambition (he's followed in the footsteps of people like Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie) and inevitably realizing he's been missing something huge.Frankly, she's lucky she has options. Too many people don't, at least not good ones. This is certainly a first world problem.
