I’m sensing this. It’s a simple thing to produce grades on classroom tests, but one must have the mental fortitude required to perform well in the dynamic environment we operate in. Quitting when times get a little challenging isn’t a good indicator that the skills required to perform our roles on a tough day have been developed yet.

I hope this person is able to develop the ability to perform in less than ideal conditions, but until then, it seems very much they’re chasing the wrong profession. There simply is no quitting after a curveball is thrown one’s way, because you have passengers, co-workers, and investors who are dependent upon you to perform.
