In economics, a sunk cost is a cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. One is supposed to forget sunk costs—removing any past investment from your mind—before making a decision about how to proceed going forward. If you could actually erase the past investments you’ve made to become a doctor, would you still pursue the profession?
