Is my life a sunk cost?

I'm 28 and have competed a degree in computer science and 5 years working in industry. I'm currently on a 15 month contract in Europe, with generous pay because I was thrown in at the deep end on a new product that I know nothing about. I am starting to appreciate that life is short and the money isn't everything. I'm struggling with the sunk cost fallacy.<br><br>Initially I thought I would need a career in tech for at least 5 years before I had enough savings to drop out and explore other career paths. This is something I can realistically do now but the thought of dropping out of the tech career path completely after investing so many years is giving me anxiety. Some comments have mentioned the possibility of going freelance, but I don't want to do that as I'd miss a lot of the benefits of working in a team that I do enjoy.<br><br>I wonder if the career path I've worked so hard for is actually something I would enjoy, or if I'm forcing myself to conform to what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm worried that I'm throwing my career away completely when I don't need to. I would love to hear some thoughts.<br><br>TL;DR: sunk cost fallacy regarding tech career path.
