What do you think about the young man who gave up his engineering job to sell roasted trotters in Shanghai?

A young man named Lai Zhangping quit his job last year and started his own business selling roasted pig feet in Songjiang University Town. Lai, who earned 5,000 yuan ($816.38) a month as an engineer, now makes as much as 40,000 yuan a month selling the delicacy. He said he can usually sell more than 700 trotters a day and has opened a shop in Beijing. Initially skeptical, Lai's relatives now support his career change. What do Internet users think?
