Was studying worth it?

I have a Bachelor of Civil Engineering and a Master of Structural Engineering. I decided to work as a software engineer. So, was it worth studying for six years?

Unfortunately, I don’t have a definite answer to this question and here are my four reasons why:

As you can see, I can’t really decide if studying was worth it. It definitely wasn’t a waste of time but I still don’t feel it was a very effective use of my time. I will always wonder if I could have gained similar life experiences doing something else in a shorter period. It’s also interesting to speculate what would have been had I studied computer science instead…
