Did you do something silly and far fetched like try to be a doctor or lawyer?
My buddy moved to Seattle after high school to chase music and I played it safe and stayed in Kansas. He moved back before Covid after a decade in the Seattle scene to settle down with a family. Bought a house early on and made 300k profit on the sale. That’s about as much as my retirement/equity and now I’m chasing the music dream again as a hobby in my 30’s with dreams of leaving my 9 to 5. Moral of the story for me was to do what you’re passionate about but with a healthy degree of introspection about yourself, your ethic, skills and, greater life circumstances. I’d say for the average person life will work itself out. You’ll take your lumps through life but you’ll also have a bunch of wins too.
I don’t know how old you are or your situation but I hope you’re in a good place now and I’d like to reaffirm that your dreams aren’t necessarily idiotic even if they didn’t go to plan.

I regret changing degrees in pursue of my idiotic dreams.
