The main plan seems to disregard the fact that he places a high value on having lots of time to faff around and low value on having a large income.
That said, I would disregard that fact as well and go with your suggestion anyway, since during one’s twenties one’s major life priorities will often change around every couple of years (generalising from personal + social circle experience), and switching to a profitable-career path is much harder than switching away from it.
I don’t, but well-paid lawyers are significantly more likely to quit their job for some low-stress activity than someone with no relevant training is likely to quickly acquire a ridiculously high-paying job.
Lots of people with no relevant training spend a lot of time and money trying to acquire the relevant training to get a high-paying job. I’d guess that this is more common than people quitting a high paying job for a low paying job with less stress. How many people start a law or medical degree every year relative to the number that quit those jobs for something less stressful and lower paid?

Don’t underestimate the strength of golden handcuffs.

overestimate → underestimate?
Thankyou, fixed.
