There are many days I roll out of bed, and I want to sell everything and move to a small coastal town in Italy near my family where everything is just simpler.

It hit me a few days ago when I was talking to a colleague at work about our career paths. He said "I have a history of severe depression. Why in the world did I pick a career where people are whining and complaining all the time?" (He is a former surgical Physician Assistant). He did go o...
