At 26 as a guy, I question myself if not doing MS was the right decision. Anyone else?

My father was casually discussing happenings from a few marriages he attended. (Wedding season is crazy in winter)
There are always some of his friends who talk about their kids who have completed their MS and are working at Amazon, Walmart, etc. Or sometimes it’s the groom or bride themselves. Then there are people who ask “ajunhi XYZ company madhech aahe ka ?” (Is he still in the same XYZ company) Or ” are MS ka nahi kela tyane”(Why didn’t he pursue MS?). (And I’m not even going to start the questions asked about the marriage topic, that’s a different thread altogether)

The excitement with which he talks about other kids who did MS, and the way he would have to say no my son did not do MS…or he is the same company since 4 years….makes me feel dejected. Feels like I have failed him.

I did not do an MS because I did not want to leave my parents alone, if by any chance I live in a different country for many years. Plus I wasn’t that good at software development…and I don’t have a passion for it. Also I never had a dream of living outside the country.

But now I don’t know if it was the right decision, or were they the right reasons. Sometimes I feel I should have pursued it just like a mandate, like we do graduation. I would have become independent, my father would have some had respect for me, and I would have been a better person

Please share your opinions. Am I right to think this? Anyone else who found a way to move beyond this feeling?
