Scenario 2

If I was Chris I would go back to school and become a high school teacher. If you have to wake up every morning and be like I hate my job then you will end up either quitting or having a miserable life. This is an example of transcendentalist because it goes on the way a person feels, and in their beliefs could be the voice of God speaking to them through their soul. Chris' wife should accept the fact that her husband has had a change of heart and should stick by his side (innless she's just a gold digger and is just with him because she knows he's going to be making a lot of money). Gut feelings and your own intuition is the main idea of transcendentalist and is what I believe is the feeing that Chris is feeling.
