Or how about this for a story Paul - Quinn Ewers made several million dollars over the last 4 years playing a game he loves. He could have lived a very comfortable lifestyle and still put a couple million into investments during that time. He didn't have to have that $6 million for staying in college, and he didn't want to deal with school any more. Instead, he moved on to the next phase of his life which he had been striving to reach since he was a kid. Now he's "only" going to make a million or so a year for the next 4 years while fulfilling a dream. Sounds to me like a mature young man made a mature decision. Quality of life isn't solely determined by $ Paulie.
Edit - The million or so per year over the next 4 years doesn't include any endorsement contracts he may have, which may well dwarf his salary.
