Nope. I regret not doing college better, though.

Yeah. So much debt and nothing to show for it.

I just got a lot of free wine, canapés and pastries from my college. I don't mind it at the moment.

Well, university in my case, but no.

No. I wish I'd more options as far as majors though.

I don't regret going in the first place but I regret not giving up on what it felt like I was supposed to do in favor of what works better for me sooner.

Absolutely not. Why would I? I'd be getting paid less, and have fewer job opportunities. Yeah, I'm in debt (and if not for my scholarship I'd be in MASSIVE debt) but I would never have the job I have if I didn't, and I get a pretty good salary and great benefits.

Kinda? I loved college and I had a decent experience, but I wish I hadn't gone straight after high school.

Considering I have for a Bachelor's and a master's degree yet not even McDonalds will hire me because I'm 'overqualified'

yes. yes i do.

Crashed and burned and failed gloriously in my senior year, so no degree and a boatload of debt. Hell yes I regret it.

No, though knowing what I know now, I might have not done an arts degree.

Yeah.

I wish I would have waited some and had more of a plan than I did going in and address some mental health issues beforehand too. Learned the hard way it doesn't help if they only thing you do is go to classes.

I didn't want to spend that much since I was directionless and going on my parent's dime, so I just went with what I figured would be a safe degree for an honors student like me at the public uni, but ended up feeling like death and dropped out.

And I still don't know what I want to pursue.

Yes. It hasn't helped me with work at all.

No, it was an absolutely fantastic experience and I don't regret it for a second.

Not at all. I picked a field where it's a requirement to have my specific degree to even have a chance at getting licensed, took my first licensing test while in college and passed the second one as soon as I was able to take it.

I still have plenty of opportunities and job options because of the field I picked.

Not going in itself. What I regret was the stupid choice of major which has left me deeply in debt with no degree, because I realized that I was just throwing money down the drain by continuing in a major I wasn't really suited for that would lead me to a career that would not earn me an actual living. I'm planning to start over in January at a cheaper school with a different major and we'll see how things go this time around. My college experience was a major factor in my becoming the person I am today, and I met my boyfriend there, so that much was positive, and it was the time when I finally got to move out of my parents' house, so that was pretty great.

Everybody: please do not to use your or your parents' money to go to an expensive college to just sit on your ass and not do the work or not study for your midterms. What is the point of that?

If someone is telling you what you need to do to get a good grade on your paper and you say "I disagree" well good for you (you overly wordy hack who can't actually write) but don't expect a better grade without changing everything.

Also this isn't elementary school if you cannot follow a simple movie or narrative perhaps you are not ready for this? I'm sitting in my office hours and you aren't even letting me help? All these ESL students are busting their asses trying to struggle through this material and meanwhile you're whining about five large font pages in your native language that you knew about all week.

Not in the slightest. There's no way I'd be where I am today without education.

And frankly, I received a really good one.

Not really, I don't think. Can't say I enjoyed it but a degree of sorts was necessary..,

No. I'm a scientist and I love my job and I absolutely would not have the opportunity to work in this field if not for college.

No. I had experiences I wouldn't have otherwise.

Having said that, I do regret some of the choices I made. I don't regret my major, but I wish I'd taken more business oar marketing classes as a backup.
