As a professor, do you ever regret your career choice?

All the f’ing time. I gave up five years of my life, a hell of a lot of money (certainly several millions dollars), and a big chunk of sanity in order to routinely be told that I’m a terrible person. There are absolutely amazing parts of my job, but if I had a crystal ball, I would NOT have gone down this road. The sacrifices were too large. And I’m notionally a success story. As of today, I’m officially an associate professor with tenure, or so they tell me. ETA Some people are offering advice on a better career. Please re-read my answer. I am in the right career, but the value of the outcome did not justify the sacrifices I made to get here. Switching careers would not undo that sacrifice. Hence the use of the word "sacrifice". I don't get those years back, no matter what I do.

作为一名教授，你是否曾经对自己的职业选择感到后悔？

一直都是这样。

我为了被不断地告知我是个可怕的人而放弃了我生命中的五年，花费了大量的金钱（肯定是数百万美元），并失去了一大部分理智，只为了能够在我的工作中常常被指责。我的工作中绝对有很棒的部分，但如果我有一颗水晶球，我绝对不会选择这条路。所做的牺牲太大了。

而且从表面上看，我是一个成功的案例。截止到今天，他们告诉我我正式成为了终身副教授。

额外信息：有些人提供了有关更好职业的建议。请再次阅读我的回答。我正在从事正确的职业，但结果的价值不足以弥补我为了到达这里所做的牺牲。

转行职业不会撤销那些牺牲。这就是为什么我使用了“牺牲”这个词。不管我做什么，我都无法拿回那几年的时光。
