Even to those making their dream salary working the exact position they want at a BB, does anyone regret spending their time?

In other words, do any of you regret having wasted you're 20's working insane hours at a BB? Just looking for some feedback from older people with more experience

The guy who slaves away ends up wishing he had more fun. The guy who slacks off ends up wishing he worked harder. Life is just about tradeoffs, unless you're in very particular, fortunate circumstances one way or other.

 

everyone hates their life no matter what they do, it's like kierkegaard said. might as well do what makes you happy in the moment. for me, thats living under a bridge and eating other peoples trash
