One of my best friends of school who was extremely smart, extremely fast learner, absurdly good with music instruments and already a hyperrealism-painter in elementary school (that thing always shock me when I remember it, at the same age I and the other students were not even capable of painting something even remotely resembling a good stylized cat) dropped out at the last year of EE and he is now working as a cashier/waiter in a small pub in the small village in which we were born. He says he gets more than enough for living and it is a "very peaceful life and it's easy to meet new people".
