Do you love where you work?

I am likely in the same boat as @boneh3ad
above. I have my own little office and my boss is a few thousand miles away. A meaningful portion of my salary is commission. I spend a lot of time networking (lunches, coffees etc). I enjoy it but can be stressful when I go for a period without generating business.

Your son should also consider whether there is travel involved. My work requires moderate travel but lots of local driving. I don’t mind it but just do one night away per month normally. My neighbor flies all over the place and that is particularly hard on family life.
