This is also the type of thinking that traps many teachers into there job of mediocre performance and below average desire.
They think they won't be able to take time to go back to school, or earn x amount of dollars, or retire at a certain age, so they suck it up for another 15-20 years.
I'd hate to think I would ever be in a position where taking time to improve the overall quality of life, particularly when it could potentially be that much better keep me from achieving new goals.
Perhaps systems where adults have the opportunity to go back to school without being punished would reduce the number of employees who are mailing it in in any workplace.
