The duality of life

[Jason Voorhees]

While I'm here fascinated by the finance world while knowing all the downsides of working in a role like that while @Corleone wants to do engineering and is fed up of finance roles and the same boring numbers knowing full well of the downsides also. Grass is greener on the other side mentality hits hard.

To get knowledge. Basically what university is for. If you want to get a job or not afterwards is your deal.

University being for jobs is a meme

Ok but if it was fun why isn't he contributing to the field by doing research work? He did all that to work as security guard whats the point. He just wasted someone's seat that could have gone to someone more deserving who would make better use of the degree

Because you need a phd for that
As I said, life is short. I had my fun. A PhD is long

Go get a PhD if you enjoyed it so much.

Why? I like to try different things

There is no space for reasearchers. And he may not like that role.

You enrol to university to learn more about something and then if you feel like it you try to get a job related. That's how I view it.
Jobs and the job market are not the entire point of life. People from decent homes don't have to grind, they were handed many things, pretty much all they need since the start.

He just wasted someone's seat that could have gone to someone more deserving who would make better use of the degree

That seat would not find a job either.

Realistically, the finance salary is way too good for me to ever justify going back to uni just to then get into a role that pays much less than my current role.

But I like to dream. What if I were destined to actually invent and work on something useful, instead of doing portfolio optimization and creating PowerPoint pitch decks to sell those fictitious financial products

I cope with hobbies instead of fulfilling my true desire of making a change in this world.
