There's a video I once saw of Jim Carrey talking about his dad, who, if I recall correctly, was originally a jazz musician, but decided it was too risky and opted to become an accountant instead.

And then, having given up on his dreams to follow the risk-averse path, he got fired.

Jim's words on the subject were like "well, he gave up on his dreams and still failed, so that's why I decided to pursue acting".
