TLDR: would you sacrifice on your career / stability for education just for the curiosity?

Sorry if this is long, or does not suit the community.

Long story short I have a quite well background and knowledge on my professional domain. So, I don't feel like I "need" university degree to do my job better. However, I kinda want to challenge myself and put myself into the education scene again. I am quite introverted, but hoping that uni may help me connect with new people and build up new social circles.

However, by pursuing a university degree I am going to risk my current stable career. Also, the reason I was burnt out from all the exams and stuff, so I decided to drop out in the first place a few years ago.

Even thought this may lead to analysis paralysis to me, I would like to know what would others do in this case. Would you focus on career solely, or jump into education anyway - does it worth it really. I guess I am probably missing the social circle the most, and probably that's why I am willing to attend university. But, can't decide if it's worth it or not.
