(Nicole Oud/CBC)After working at a Prince George pulp mill for more than a decade, Alex Mackenzie realized he had to quit. Mackenzie's true passion is stand-up comedy, and he made his career-changing decision on his first day back at the pulp mill after finishing a stand-up tour in Alberta. In addition to quitting his six-figure job, Mackenzie also sold his home and purchased a small RV for travelling to gigs. Mackenzie hopes his story inspires others to pursue their passions.
