Definitely, quite a few things, especially related to career. Which then would change subsequent things I did and had to make decisions that might be rational today but still feel wrong.
Basically I played the current game with the hand given to me as good as possible, and quite successful measured by some standards. But most things still feel utterly useless after all, even though well paid. Can fully reasonate with the "bullshit jobs" narrative.
_So many_ people are desperately trying to extract money from a system without providing any substantial value to society beyond a vague narrative, argumented as "if its useless nobody would pay for it!" that doesn't really reflect reality today.

Obviously knowing how the cards fell in retrospect, it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback so to speak. I used to work a job I considered bullshit, and I changed to something that feels more real. It didn't exactly make a new man out of me, but it's helped a lot with the feelings you're describing. I wouldn't rule it out for yourself.
- anonyfox 2y agoThanks for those kind words, much appreciated! Personally I am like 9 years away from FIRE, so there is some light at the end of the tunnel, but still bitter about the whole system, especially when thinking about the future for my kids.
