I don't want to spend my whole life waiting for a retirement that might never come - I might die, my mental faculties might degrade, even if everything went right I might still burn out.
If I thought I could take a three- or four-year break to study in my thirties or forties without it hurting my career I absolutely would. But employers seem to be suspicious of that kind of thing (unless it's something like a 1-year MBA). So if I want a sabbatical without hurting my earnings too much, a college degree seems like my best option.
