Education, money, etc. are simply "means to an end", which for most people means a comfortable, happy life AND doing what you LOVE to do.

I do not regret my extremely lengthy formal education (M.D. then Ph.D.) since I loved those subjects when engaged in them. And much of what I learned was/is helpful in life even to this day.

I was lucky in that my last (4th) profession (now retired) started out as a hobby I loved, so I changed careers and made it my profession. I used to marvel that I was getting paid (a LOT !!!) to do what I loved so much and would have done for free !!!!
