I understand your point of view, unfortunately what I have told contains few words to explain everything behind a thought and I understand that from the outside it may seem like a reckless choice, but I know it will be worth it, if not for this maybe a project for others, but I know it's like this.
My mantra in these situations is: You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future.
However I accept your point of view and how you stated it. It's good food for thought, so thanks.
