I myself am in college but I'm curious if the 3 years are really worth it. With work at 18 I would have been able to buy a house much sooner.

I met this guy that regrets it because he said it's hard to find a job in his major and he's living in debt because he has to finish paying back college loans.
I do not regret not going to college. I'm 20 and I have absolutely no plans to go to college. My husband went to a specialty school for a degree in Auto and Diesel Mechanics and he'll be paying that debt off for about ten years. Right now he makes close to minimum wage as an apprentice... which he should have just done in the first place because no one will hire the inexperienced any more.
There's plenty of ways out there for me to get ahead, it's just a matter of being patient and keeping your eyes out for opportunities.
I'm currently waiting to get back in. Moved, have to wait a year, it's quite annoying. Whenever I see people studying or doing school work I get jealous.
I'm not in college yet, but I go next year. I've taken different college courses at CC. They were all art related and not that bad, but I felt like I didn't get a proper education like you would at a actual college. Then, I enrolled in a art college through the mail. I ended up getting behind and miss the dead line which ended late last month. I wasted all that time, my family all that money, all because I couldn't work through some issues in my life>_<
Hopefully, I'll manage to get into a good college and I won't end up regretting things...
My major was good only for "do you want any fries with that?" or a shift manager at starbucks if you're a hipster.. (been there), but I learnt a lot and enjoyed my time learning. of course if I go back to school I'll study something more beneficial.
I still haven't found a job in my major (electrical distribution systems) but I still don't regret going. If nothing else, college was one of the best times of my life!
I was told that I was too dumb for university when I was 18, so I didn't go (I was an obedient child). I was told that the best career I could hope for in life was to become a secretary.
Fuck them all.
I'm finally in university now, at 37, and I have a very high GPA. My father, who thinks I'm mildly retarded, still cannot bring himself to acknowledge the fact that I've been in university for the past couple years. To him it's as if I've joined a cult or something.
It was a mistake
for me
but not a mistake
a regret.
What does that mean exactly?
Heh, sorry... not a mistake "I" regret. Although the typo version was more interesting.
Speaking of mistakes, I've noticed my posts are littered with them since I came back. I want to assure people I'm not an imposter. It would be terrible if I was so nah, it's not that. It's a degenerative brain disease.
:P
Everyone makes typos, it's normal. I make hoards of them, but so far I've managed to escape the Grammar Nazis' wrath.
You know, sometimes I think your typos are just part of the odd way that you express yourself at times, like they are a part of your accent. Your last email had lots of errors, it was an exception, but you were tired so it wasn't a surprise.
I think it's sobriety that's doing it, not tiredness. I double-typing words or using words that start with the same letter of the alphabet but don't mean the same thing at all. I'm used to my mind racing ahead and I was used to working with that. Now it feels like being on a bicycle going downhill and the brakes and gears aren't what I'm used to.
My father used to tell me a story about a friend that he used to hang out with when he was a kid. The friend got a new bike with rear and front breaks. He was speeding, full tilt, down a hill in North Vancouver when hit the breaks. He used the wrong breaks that time. He was going so fast that when he applied the front breaks the tire stopped, but him and the bike kept moving. He did a face-plant over the front of the bike. My dad said that his friend was picking gravel out of his face for months.
