Not really.
I studied law , became a lawyer , didn't take satisfaction in that and then went on to paramedical school.
From lawyer to healthcare consultant in about a bit over a decade.
Zero regrets.
Love my job now.

My career path started when I was very young working on cars with my dad, then dirt bikes and Vo-tech training as an auto mechanic, after school I enlisted in the military, a short time as an MP, then as a combat engineer doing demolition. and eventually wound up as an aircraft mechanic. I have turned wrenches my entire adult life almost, no student loans, no shitty jobs. I have been truly blessed.
