Which Fallacy?

Let’s say that, for ten years, a woman has worked at a job she hates. She decides

to stay in the job because she thinks that if she were to quit and find a more

fulfilling career, she would’ve wasted those ten years. What fallacy has she fallen for?

This is the sunk cost fallacy

As a side note to Bo if he reads this, there is an option in the tool bar to insert fallacy, when I've tried to use this on my phone I can select and preview but don't see any way to then finalise and insert it, so I have to just cancel out.
