4 People Who Turned Down 6-Figure Salaries for Their Passions<\/h2>\n
\n

\"following<\/p>\n

Sometimes the power of pursuing a dream<\/span><\/u><\/a> that earns less money is worth more than any paycheck could ever command. When \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d\u00a0star Jack Gleeson announced last year that he was retiring from acting at just 21 years old, fans were shocked that he left behind such a lucrative career that earned him a net worth of $8 million.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been acting since age 8. I just stopped enjoying it as much as I used to,\u201d Gleeson told Entertainment Weekly. \u201cAnd now there\u2019s the prospect of doing it for a living, whereas up until now it was always something I did for recreation with my friends, or in the summer for some fun. I enjoyed it. When you make a living from something, it changes your relationship with it. It\u2019s not like I hate it, it\u2019s just not what I want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gleeson\u2019s plans aren\u2019t to become a Hollywood star, but to follow what he\u2019s passionate about with a return to academia and plans to attend graduate school next year. It\u2019s a rare move in today\u2019s career-driven world, when many people would rather stay tied to the security of a well-paying if dissatisfying job rather than pursue a more personally-gratifying but low-paying calling. But like the now-retired actor, the following four professionals gave up their lucrative careers to follow their ambitions.<\/p>\n

Ditching Investing to Blaze a New Trail<\/h2>\n

\"steve\"<\/p>\n

Steve Silberberg spent years earning a six-figure income as a software designer in the investment world, but as he reached his forties, he reached a point of serious self reflection. His father had died at just 54 years old, and considerations of his own mortality compounded by some mounting job stress led Silberberg to wonder if his time could be better spent doing something for a living that he truly loved.<\/p>\n

Two activities brought Silberberg a sense of vitality.\u00a0\u201cI find when I go backpacking and hiking, I feel better. My pants fit better. It\u2019s fun for me,\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cI feel much more healthy. I feel alive. My days are great.\u201d<\/p>\n

About a decade ago, Silberberg began climbing that mountain to turn his passion into a way to generate income. His ideas culminated in the creation of Fitpacking, a weight loss backpacking program through which Silberberg guides customers on a series of adventure vacations to help them get back into shape. Of course, Silberberg said that it wasn\u2019t an overnight decision or success. When Fitpacking began it made very little money with only seven guided trips a year, and the scant income was a stark contrast to his days in the investing universe.<\/p>\n

But Silberberg persevered, and today Fitpacking has evolved into a popular \u201cre-boot camp\u201d that hosts 25 trips annually to locations like the Grand Canyon, Patagonia, Chile and Canada. According to Silberberg, a trek to Macchu Picchu is also in the works.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s good for participants to get fit and jump start their fitness level,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s a good digital detox, too. You find being away from phones and email for a week, you see a change in people\u2019s attitudes. It\u2019s personally gratifying for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Silberberg\u2019s advice to anyone looking to change careers is to proceed with common sense. \u201cDon\u2019t put your family in any kind of harsh situation by jumping ship without actually trying it first,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s good to do it with a little bit of security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does he ever picture himself back in his old role? \u201cWhen my house payment is due, yes,\u201d Silberberg joked. \u201cBut I couldn\u2019t imagine it.\u201d<\/p>\n

From Finance to Fashion<\/h2>\n

\"Kirat\"<\/p>\n

Kirat Anand built up a sizable nest egg and earned a six-figure salary during two years spent at J.P. Morgan in New York City. But he also observed firsthand how the 100-hour work weeks took their tolls on himself and his colleagues, so it came to time to reassess where Anand stood in his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a tremendous opportunity: a lot of capital and power,\u201d he said. \u201cYou had the opportunity to work with some of the best and brightest people to this day.\u00a0But my passion was never there.\u201d<\/p>\n

A New York native, Anand\u2019s parents were Indian immigrants who were both designers and merchants in the international garment circuit. He remembered trips with them to their home country, scouting and sourcing a variety of exotic fabrics. The exposure, talent and creative expression were present from his childhood; it was just a matter of tapping into them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s when I sort of put up a knack for my current trade. I\u2019ve always had an inclination for fashion,\u201d Anand said. Nine years ago, Anand put that inclination into motion and founded his clothing label, KAS New York, with his mother Sabby. Glamorous and trend-setting, the award-winning design house produces a number of women\u2019s fashions.<\/p>\n

One of Anand\u2019s business philosophies in building his brand is to channel his creative passion through any challenge that might arise and never second guess. \u201cFor me, I believe in \u2018Don\u2019t look back.\u2019 You make the jump and then you\u2019re in it,\u201d he said. \u201cAny entrepreneur does come across adversity. It\u2019s how much you deal and you use it to your advantage.\u00a0At the end of the day, you have to know what you desire, and if you know what you desire, you have to chase it.\u201d<\/p>\n

To have \u201cCPC\u201d \u2014 Confidence, Passion, Commitment \u2014\u00a0is Anand\u2019s insight to anyone looking to switch careers. \u201cIf you don\u2019t have all three,\u201d he said, \u201cthen there\u2019s a probability you\u2019re not in it for the long run to succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Special Agent: Life Coach<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For five years, Jon Tasch dedicated his life to being a \u201cG-Man,\u201d earning an annual $125,000 as an FBI counter-terrorism agent, but he gave up his formidable intelligence career to become a life coach guiding others in hopes of making a similar shift.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing an FBI Agent was fast paced, exciting, sometimes dangerous, sometimes stressful, and often challenging,\u201d Tasch recalled. \u201cI conducted high-speed surveillance operations, arrested bad guys (some of them girls), conducted search warrants, interviewed hundreds of people, and investigated crime scenes. Aside from the\u00a0paperwork, it\u2019s pretty much everything you see in the movies.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the course of time, however, Tasch began to feel that the FBI wasn\u2019t his purpose in life.\u00a0\u201cEach day felt more and more unsettling,\u201d he said. \u201cBeing an FBI Agent just didn\u2019t feel like it was my calling. I was ashamed to admit that to people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tasch re-evaluated his priorities and discovered that what he really wanted was to come to the aid of others in a different way. \u201cI am at my best when I am helping people realize all of the gifts they are able to offer this world,\u201d Tasch said. \u201cI\u2019m a connector and I relate well with people one-on-one.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Tasch, departing the FBI meant some initial financial pressure with the loss of his paycheck, benefits and 401(k) plan. Despite initial struggles to adjust to his revised cost of living, Tasch had some equity in his home and some other investments to help launch his coaching business. Tasch\u2019s words to anyone looking to follow their dream is that it\u2019s okay to feel uncertain or doubtful in the beginning \u2014\u00a0like anything in life, it\u2019s a work in progress.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I\u2019m still working to establish myself and position myself as an industry expert, I\u2019m still battling the limiting belief that \u2018I can\u2019t make it\u2019 or \u2018I\u2019m not good enough,’\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s something a lot of newly self-employed people experience, no matter the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

Building Something from Nothing<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mudit Rawat\u2019s founding of an online grocery delivery service is a perfect example that money, success and job security can never match the fulfillment that comes with building a dream from the ground up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you work in the corporate world, you work on a lot of big projects. But unless you\u2019re the CEO, you don\u2019t see the tangible results,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen you\u2019re on your own, you feel the mistakes, and the next day, you can make it better.\u00a0It\u2019s a completely different thrill.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rawat immigrated to Canada from India 20 years ago, earned his MBA, and clocked in his own six-figure salary in a number of high-paying, high-profile business consulting and development jobs, but something was amiss. \u201cAll along, from having a good life in general, I started realizing I wasn\u2019t enjoying what I was doing,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI decided to build something myself.\u201d So, Rawat quit his job with a new business venture in mind, influenced by a cultural trend in India that was not yet prominent in the West.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you live in India, you never go grocery shopping,\u201d he said. \u201cEverything lands at your doorstep.\u201d It was here that the seed for Urbery was planted. A portmanteau of urban and grocery, Urbery is Rawat\u2019s invention: a same-day grocery delivery service facilitated by a team of product experts known as Grocery Gurus. Under Rawat\u2019s business model, anyone can sign up to be a personal grocery shopper for Urbery customers, who can order and track their groceries through a mobile app.<\/p>\n

Rawat was able to make a seamless transition from one career to the next through an innovative idea<\/span><\/u><\/a> brought to fruition. However, he tells other budding entrepreneurs that patience is important when recognizing and following one\u2019s passion. A business isn\u2019t built overnight.<\/p>\n

\u201cEntrepreneurship, to me, is highs and lows,\u201d Rawat said.\u00a0\u201cIt takes some time to cross that line, but once you realize you\u2019re passionate about something and it\u2019s your goal, you just go for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cNever give up. Just keep working hard and it\u2019ll get better the next day.\u201d<\/p>\n
