What I don't get and maybe never will is the attitude expressed in the article that work is worthless. That it is something you just walk away from. Maybe they had the type of job that is easily picked back up when they should have returned from this trip. I know in my younger days I was very much in career building mode and maybe had too many responsibilities......

It is obvious they lacked perspective.
I know what I do helps people, and I have been in many different aspects related to what I do.
I've also done the build and man the tradeshow booth aspect, which put me in touch with just how much people appreciate the products the company I work is involved in.
If they'd been wiser they might have seen how what they were doing with that computer screen in an office benefited people. If they had been wiser they might have not taken the route they did.
