Trader Quits Job to Run Hot Dog Stand

This doesn’t seem kosher:

“I’ve heard lots of people moaning about their jobs,” said Mr Brause. “As soon as people get to management level they dream of this, and this was a dream of mine for a while because I was pretty fed up with my job too. The office politics was terrible.”
But as the sausages sizzled on a hot plate, Thomas said quitting his high-powered job had not made life less stressful.
“I work 14-hour days,” he said. “I get up at 0530. This is more stressful than before! I did my previous job for 24 years so I was very used to it. Now, I have to learn a lot of things and cope with circumstances I’ve never seen before.
“But I would say I’m happier. If you’re not happy with your job, it’s bad for you. I lost everything but it was an opportunity. So now I’m here – and I’ll see where I am in a year’s time.”
