Can't believe nobody beet me to it. But seriously, fighters have a very specific mission profile. I flew helicopters and turboprop airplanes. I did everything from medevac and firefighting to VIP transport. Looking back now, I would not change that for anything. Now I fly rubber dogsh!t out of Hong Kong on the 747.
There are some who want to fly that very specific profile.
There is time in life later for many of the other types of flying; often that type of flying is a once in a life time opportunity.
I like my flying/job that I am doing now too, but like you, I look back and wouldn't have given up that opportunity for anything.
