I do in a sense that it actually hurt me find a job in the future. I should have taken a year off in between high school and college to really take a step back and think about what I wanted to do.
Instead I went straight to college, changed majors 3 times, and just went with whatever degree that would help me graduate the fastest. Now I feel I wasted 5 1/2 years and am still lost out here. I would have rather struggled at 18 then 27.

I wouldn't say I regret going to college, probably the institution I choose to attend more so than anything. But then again if I went elsewhere I would have missed out on meaningful friendships I made. I also regret not networking as much as I could have once I the opportunity.

I don't regret going to college. I definitely regret my major change. I hate Communications although I'm sure it will open some doors.
Has anyone ever gone back for a 2nd degree? like a 2nd BA? I'm seriously thinking about going back for a Graphic Design or Business Degree.

I don't regret going to college, but I regret going straight after high school. If I had to do it over again I would have worked for 4-5 years then went to college.
I would have been more mature, got better grades, been in a better financial situation, and would have had a better social life.

you have a BA sole?Originally Posted by SoleWoman
With student loans and careers being all about experience nowadays...anyone wish they would have just started working or went to a trade school or any other alternative routes...?
I know a lot of unemployed people with ba's, masters etc who are sitting at home (shout-out to the unemployment thread)
If you could do it all over what would you have done differently? If you still would have went to school...would you have chosen a different major?
and i cant speak on it now cus I haven't graduated but I love the experience of college...can't wait to go back in a few weeks.
