I actually did write a book on regrets (or one big regret anyway)

And look what happened to him - either a heart attack in a gym at 46 or best known for riding RTW, depending on whether you're talking about the character or the actor.
I think a lot of people have a disdain for a conventional route through life when the road is mostly ahead of them, particularly if you're at the 'one art O level' rather than the 'PhD' end of the spectrum (Rat Race by The Specials). There's not much individuality in following Renton's list - unless you come from a wealthy enough background to see that it can work to your benefit. Money begets money as they say. However life has a habit of making you re-evaluate what you value. And that, of course, is where this discussion started.
