I’ve thought about similar things, having just started my studies in a new field. You did with a great deal more thought and finesse than me in my head though. Thanks!
I try not to dwell on this too much as it obviously does not help and only brings me down, but I do kind of regret my first career choice. It provided me with a very secure and very well paid job in respected field, and should keep me financially secure and easily employed even if things don’t work out well in this new endeavour. However I find very little passion and interest there. Luckily I’m pretty young still so I have a full career ahead of me, but still I wish I had the foresight to pick something else back then. Even if I would still end up changing the fields, I could’ve picked something that fits better together with what I’m doing now. Sure, I could combine the old and new and actually I think they would be an useful combination. I just have no interest to do that. Oh well, that’s life for you.
