Ask HN: Do you regret not being a Dr, lawyer, or something with advanced degree?

For years tech has been the shortcut to a good salary without an advanced degree and the years of post-undergrad training they required before entering the field.

On the one hand, tech is increasingly becoming hard to find a job in or feel certain about long-term ability to do so. On the other, the older I get the less envious I become of specialist doctors and their astronomical salaries, after factoring in the amount of debt, years spent not earning anything, and workloads I see them try to balance. And lawyers, dentist, pharmacists, etc. they no longer seem worth it at all.

Curious how others feel.
