What career path might he take?

Choosing a career path can be complex and requires thoughtful consideration of various possibilities. According to Adam Grant on the Something You Should Know, one of the main challenges people face is "identity foreclosure," where they commit prematurely to a career path without exploring other options. Grant suggests viewing career choices as "experiments" to try out different possibilities and see what fits best 1.

An example given is of a lawyer who, after disliking his career, decided to become a golf pro. However, he didn't enjoy that either and eventually returned to law but with a different approach. This shows that it's important to differentiate between hobbies and careers and understand that sometimes, a passion may not translate into a fulfilling profession 1.

Exploring multiple career paths before making a final decision helps to avoid premature commitments and allows for a more informed choice based on real-world experience.
