I would say yes. Maximize your income/take as much as possible while you are young as opportunities will evaporate one day. I've been unemployed for 8 years and can't even get blue collar jobs because I've always been a white collar worker. I literally have decades of experience working for high profile fortune 500 companies managing commercial web site and software production. Now everyone wants programmers or lead programmers they can pile management or design tasks onto, or just project managers or scrum masters or business analysts or product owners, not someone whose job has been to do all of those things and needs to level up.
