I guess I don't think this way?

Obviously with hindsight and a do-over I'd be incredibly rich. But that's a silly thing to fret over. I'm not the kind of person who would've bought bitcoin early on because I didn't (and still don't) understand it.

The same with other "regrets" like that. Would you have actually enjoyed the non-engineering classes if you'd taken them when you were 20 or whatever?

I'm comfortable with the decisions I make because they're a reflection of who I am not some kind of never-going-to-happen idealized version of myself.

That said, I can make different decisions in the future. But I'm still probably not going to take a big flyer on a stock that might 40x because that's not how I invest.
