I will say that my situation is only unique in one way, ambition.

If tomorrow my industry died I would immediately be pursuing other lucrative career fields in other industries. It's like math equation to me, you sacrifice while you are young so that you can work less and make more the rest of your life.

My only regrets relate to the nature of my work, I certainly lack fulfillment and would prefer a career in sciences that involved animals and environmental preservation, mainly with aquatic life. But it took me a long time to figure that out.

I do find it hard to sympathize with someone who has 100k in student debt that spend 7 years studying philosophy etc.

And for gods sake, will someone pay teachers more money?????

Edit: Also on the subject of me making it, I felt like the education I got from my Jr. High was incredible, High School was also good... but damn I learned a lot between grades 7-9. I feel like our school system here is amazing if you make the most of it.
