> The post in effect is about a choice of one's career...

You do a huge disservice to the author. He mentions much more than that, just in that one sentence.

Again:

> Your path, your character, your life, should be the most unlikely, the most unexpected, the least predictable version you can make.

Why, if you're a nice guy, you should become a serial killer!

> I came across a bus driver today that told me he owned a juice bar on the side, and invited me to visit. I thought this was most unexpected.

You must live a sheltered life. Bus drivers were doing serious side hustles before there was even a name for those.

    This is rich. "Assume good faith" and "Please not preach violence" in the same comment, when I was doing nothing of the sort.

      No, you or anyone will not receive a good faith exemption when preaching violence as you objectively were via your quoted statement:

      > you should become a serial killer!
