Life is long for most, but statistically there's about a 5% chance you'll die before 50, it's better to hedge your bets imo. Also, wind surfing in Ibiza doesn't sound that fun at 60.
I worked as a software dev for a large company for 3 years and it was a complete waste in retrospect. I now make much more money and curse every second I spent in that cubicle. The corporate ladder is a low-risk low-reward path that's generally unfulfilling. For a young person it's much better strategy to explore rather than exploit early on.
I've seen more than one person die with an unspent fortune, having worked at a menial job their entire life. Don't let it happen to you.
