What happens to people?
I've noticed that there is a clear rotation in the field of esoteric and parapsychology. Most people enter into the subject with great enthusiasm, and after max. few years, on an average I'd say 3 years (but this is not any stats that I calculated, just general observation), leave and abandon the subjects - typically forever.
A bit similar situation is with arts or music, things that are poorly "monetized" today, and I know many people who had bands and wanted to play music professionally, and ended up as employees in various companies.
I can understand musicians, they wanted to live from their hobby, but personal and business difficulties destroyed their plans, and a typical traditional family life doesn't allow for much freedom, which perhaps is required for such goals. But what about esoteric fields?
