Here's a similar, more recent story about a banker turned nun. Good listen if you have some time. https://www.wnycstudios.org/podcasts/deathsexmoney/episodes/b

  The Jesuit Guide to Almost Everything by James Martin is autobiographical and tells about his experience going from a Wharton MBA, accountant at GE making a lot of money to becoming a priest; sitting in a hot room in Haiti with bugs inside to take care of the sick and poor. It really hit home with me because it was my dream to get a Wharton MBA. Then he says his balance would be higher at the ATM every week but it felt very meaningless. There’s also an interesting side story about the psychopaths (my word) in management at GE.
