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.
