A former college roommate who had worked his entire career as a lawyer and had reached partner status at DCs second most famous law firm, quit when he was 44 and went to work for the National Park Service making about 1/12th what he made before. Spent a few years in DC doing National Mall management stuff and then moved to Yosemite where he now spends all day maintaining walking trails, doing tours etc living in a cabin.

He had a borderline breakdown from the stress as a lawyer but the dude couldn’t be happier now.
