As a rough guess, the first 5-7 years in the career act as a filter. Those who make it past that point are the truly dedicated.

I would say "self-sacrificing." I don't think it's quite fair to diminish someone's dedication if they quit after working 4 years in full-time poverty.

Absolutely no insult intended to people who leave the career. I fully admit that I didn't even finish the masters program before I realized I wouldn't be able to keep up with the bullshit and noped out.
