Perhaps the only thing to note is that you should pay attention to your long term health. You can definitely stay fit if you don't grind on when you shouldn't. No job and no amount of money is worth destroying your body.

I'm very far away from this topic and your last sentence sparked my interest, could you please say who would tell such things?
