90+% of Stanford footballers are never going to even sniff the NFL.  The "40-year" question breaks down to:

"Do you really want to run a Lexus dealership in Akron/Mobile/Pasadena/etc. or do you want to spend the rest of your life trying to help change (even a tiny toty part of) the world?"

Is there something wrong with running a Lexus dealership anywhere?  The problem escapes me.

While I think about it I will illustrate my point.  The president of the Stanford Club of Pasadena in 1964 was the owner of a tire dealership named Tom Sawyer.  True.  I wrote a "to whom it might concern" ltd to the club seeking a recommendation.  He called, invited me to lunch at the University Club and arranged for other Board members to stop by while we ate.  I got the rec.  he owned a lowly (I guess in the eyes of elite Stanford types) tire store yet managed to change a "tiny tony part of" the world.  At least for me.

Keep thinking, Signore Ferarri.  It will not escape you for very long, hopefully.....
