I'm not a doctor or lawyer, but I have a terminal degree in my field of study. Sadly my career in my field of study (Visual Art) failed to take off due to financial pressures in the field and in academia during the first term of the second Bush administration. Tech was my fall back career. I was burdened with over 100k of student debt and ended up teaching myself web development over a period of 20+ years, often as on-the-job training. I wish I didn't have the advanced degree. Many doctors wash out as internists or residents and not all lawyers are well compensated and the legal fields that pay well aren't for everyone. As the valley between the haves and have-less grows there are fewer lead bullet paths to success in America. As competition shrinks due to unregulated monopolistic practices in industry the motivation to pay well for traditional jobs is also diminishing. If I regret anything, it's not moving to Scandinavia before college.
