It is possible. It could take 10 years to get there though(some faster, some slower, some never). With the age most likely going to 65, if it took you 10 to make it, you'd still have 10-15 years at a major. I don't imagine it would be fun to start over at 40, but I'd hate to say "I wish I would have..." on my death bed. For SkyHigh, the risk/sacrifice was no longer worth the potential reward. It's a personal choice everyone must make for themselves.
