Greenspan and Quarterlife Crisis

Read in ST today that Alan Greenspan (who stepped down as US Fed Reserve Chairman) played the saxaphone with Stan Getz in his younger days, but gave it up to study economics at New York University. He picked economics because he developed the philosophy that money is a good thing for people to have (Hey, don't we all think the same? Haha).

Anyway, if anyone was playing beside a future jazz legend, bloody hell, no matter how good one was, relativity would set in, and one would sound bad.

Greenspan's choice made me consider. At that point in his life, if he knew, it would've been a choice between good jazz musician and great economist.
