TLDR: would you sacrifice on your career / stability for education just for the curiosity?

Sorry if this is long, or does not suit the community.

Long story short I have a quite well background and knowledge on my professional domain. So, I don't feel like I "need" university degree to do my job better. However, I kinda want to challenge myself and put myself into the education scene again. I am quite introverted, but hoping that uni may help me connect with new people and build up new social circles.

However, by pursuing a university degree I am going to risk my current stable career. Also, the reason I was burnt out from all the exams and stuff, so I decided to drop out in the first place a few years ago.

Even thought this may lead to analysis paralysis to me, I would like to know what would others do in this case. Would you focus on career solely, or jump into education anyway - does it worth it really. I guess I am probably missing the social circle the most, and probably that's why I am willing to attend university. But, can't decide if it's worth it or not.

Not really. Privacy wise it’s terrible, but user experience is pretty alright I’d say for a microblogging platform. In fact I feel like it’s going to threaten the fediverse by being open at first and then slowly closing up and locking people in, creating an image where all the other nodes should be part of meta’s fediverse and follow certain rules, etc.
