'He's living the dream': Corporate tech bro gets kudos for quitting 22-year career, becoming goose farmer

I challenge you to find a person who is part of the so-called rat race who doesn't dream of giving it all up and then chilling in splendid isolation for the rest of their lives. Sure, there are a few true workaholics who would never entertain the thought, but they aren't as common as you think. 

Sadly, not everybody who wants to give up the corporate nightmare actually manages to do so. It only makes those who escape seem all the more special. This was the case for one man after his LinkedIn profile went moderately viral after he made an abrupt professional change. 

Detailing how he went from working at Microsoft for more than twenty years to becoming a self-employed goose farmer, many social media hustlers were jealous of his perceived freedom. Must be nice to only have to answer to a gaggle of birds and not an irate boss.
