Probably not the best way to spend your time.

It is when you are looking for photographs to sell.
I am pulling my hair. All the potential lost is just.....
Interesting. I first started shooting RAW in 2005. I discovered the wasted time in PP RAW, and stopped in 2010.
I turned to SOOC and learned all the settings in my image processor, and the advantages of knowing without hesitation the advantages of custom profiles.
Have not shot much RAW, or done that much post processing since 2010. I PP in the image processor, and using custom profiles, BEFORE the image goes to the memory card as a JPEG, or a TIFF. Both of those formats can be post processed if needed.
SOOC.. you heard it here more often than elsewhere, and with better time savings and IQ results.
I begrudge the four years wasted on RAW. Wasted time when you are selling your work. I sold more work with film.
Don't live in the past...you'll waste the time you have left.

Gee, I thought you were talking about looking in the mirror! Thinking of my own experience, I guess!

I disagree. You will never convince me to shoot anything but RAW. If you F up, alternatively, you have no recourse. Never, never, never.
RAW, JPEG, SOOC, whatever works, just do it. No point in doing something that doesn't work for you.
I don't think any time is wasted in PP after shooting in RAW if that is what one enjoys doing with their photography. Shooting in RAW allows the greatest amount of control and artistic bent possible. With JPEG, you can do some, but not much. I am just entering into the world or RAW and learning LR. Could be a lot of fun, and I'll learn something in the process. Not a waste of time for me.

Nah you gained 3 yrs experience
No use crying over spilled milk, Call the cat or dog and move on.
I switched to RAW after a year of JPEG. Real easy to fix all the underexposed shots. And other imperfections. I'm sticking with RAW and big memory cards.

Going back to jpeg would be like going back to no indoor plumbing.
