Actual most common regrets include wishing you hadn’t worked so hard and living a life you wanted rather than one others expect of you.

I’ve heard this a lot but I don’t put too much weight to it. It’s too easy to forget that you had bills to pay and just think “if I had just quit my job everything would have been sunshine and rainbows”

Impression I get is that its more don’t treat your career like its your life. Which is absolutely something a fair few people do.

where i live you’re a social freak if you don’t treat your job as your identity/purpose/reason for being.
it’s wild. And yet… all these people are miserable as far as I can tell.

Yeah, that is probably the sort of thing to avoid.

depends on the job and why you’re doing it. a lot of people are working jobs they hate to provide for people they love, who they don’t feel loved by. and that’s some fucked up shit.
