Some would probably say that he thinks he’s found his one true love, he should quit his job now and go for the dream. Well, that’s just idealistic. I agree with the general concept that he should pursue his on-air job, but he should make it a calculated risk taking. While I would make the move earlier than later, perhaps being in finance for another year is for the better. It should solve the timing issue (economic recession) and his money issue, in which he can probably cut back on his lifestyle now and save for when he’s broke ass poor. Did Zach not take Ec 10 and learn about consumption smoothing?

People take risks all the time. In the grand scheme of things, the risk of switching jobs and even losing one is really not that big of a deal. It’s a big deal among ivy league kids since it’s fairly uncommon, but I feel like it happens all the time with young adults who aren’t in banking, consulting, etc. Tell Zach to man up and make a calculated move or risk being mediocre for the rest of his life.
