Not true! Rare....but not true.
As for the OP, very tough choice ahead for you. You have a job in the top 5-10% of corporate. Many guys work for years to get where you are and you're 30. As for the "dream".....don't just chase dreams in this business.
Put it all on paper and see where it all works out the best for you and your family. Pros and cons, salary bs salary, bennies, commuting, etc.
Best of luck.
