> The "correct" reaction to a midlife crisis is almost a trope now: you have it pretty good, don't rock the boat, don't screw things up.
My advice: follow this "trope" at your own peril. When your soul isn't satisfied with the direction your life is going, shut up and pay attention. Sweeping it under the rug is the best way to face this demon, stronger and scarier, 25 years later, when it's too late to do something about it.

I'm not even trying to say you're wrong, but how can you be your own source about what will happen 25 years later in your mid 30s? Did you first start doubting your career choices when you were 10?
By speaking with someone older than me, and by working through it with a therapist. Is this valid enough an answer? I offered a counter-argument to GP, but neither I nor GP have the "correct" solution to your particular crisis.
