    The adventurer’s ethic is probably this: you have an obligation to become as interesting as your surplus resources permit

        I feel the same way. I used my accounting job as insurance to learn programming, cofound 3 startups, and learn MMA. I was way more happier as an amateur programmer than a veteran accountant.

        Your money metaphors article probably played an important role in me leaving the accounting profession.

        And if you do well the challenge is to stay true to what 'you' consider interesting vs. the media or general public.

        Emotional and tangible resources, in whatever ratio you use them. (Jonny, I’d agree with that - if you shift your value to outward perception of interest alone, your soul is fucked)

        I would remove the word "surplus".

        Begs the question, interesting to whom? I am trying to be interesting to future me. I am also trying to be interesting in how I generate those surplus resources.
