wow great question. When I was younger I had a car I hung on to for too long. I don't think I have any now. I sell software for a living and I have to present Sunk Cost Fallacy at least once a month in busiiness meetings. I kinda disguise it as "cost benefit analysis" in discussion with legacy systems because the connotations are softer but it is S.C.F
It looks like you are college age--I have a degree but I know a few dozen people who flunked out of college as juniors and seniors. By the time they were sophmores, for many of them it was evident they weren't going to make it and school is expsensive.
I think a lot of people do that in the workforce. If more people job hopped, mostly when they are younger they would make more money. Not so much for gov jobs or if you one lands their dream job but for most people that is true.
