Can you share that strong evidence?

Oof, no, I can't. I'd edit my comment, tempering that certainty, if I could.

I recall multiple therapists telling me precisely that, according to the research, people are less likely to accomplish or make progress on passion projects when they quit their jobs with that goal in mind. I have memories of finding papers on this, too. Now I can't find them, and I'm questioning the accuracy of my memory.

Disheartening and embarrassing, but probably healthy, too. Thanks for the reality check.
