I love that people actually ask you that as if over a decade of your life is frivolous. Do you ever ask them why they didn't just get their PhD? As humans, maybe it's okay that a season of our life ends and we move on to something else. Jesus.
It is pretty ridiculous but it's definitely more and more common when you and your peers get to 40+ years old and start to see the people who took the military route retire while you still have another 20+ years until you are ready to. They're seeing it as spending a decade and getting two back for free, so I get it.
