When you have as much dosh as him and at his tender age, you have the luxury of experimenting and trying different experiences without having to worry that you're wasting your hard earned cash on training courses, kit, etc. he doesn't need to pigeonhole himself to anything to please any of us and least of all his family.
unlike the majority of people of his age group, who never get to experience new things, they have to stay in the same monotonous groove, to make a living to pay for the essentials of life. They don't take the same risks as someone with deep pockets.
coupled with the fact that he now lives in US with their culture of anything goes, no such thing as failure etc.
an enviable position to be in.
