No, because I had a blast! It was a lot of fun. Did it help me make more money then many of my friends that didn't go to college? No, I am a teacher and my friends that became cops, plumbers, electricians, firemen and mechanics all make more then me.

My answers are no. I don't regret going, but I understand why I should have started 10 years ago fresh out of HS. There are things that I need to do for my career, that would be an easier choice for me to make, say 5 year ago, now I am close to 30 and I want to settle and have a family, not run off to grad school and go on digs.
I still don't feel like I majored in the wrong subject, because that has been my main interest in life (Anthropology). However, I am finding myself, not wanting to pursue my career in that field, only because of other events in my life. I am happy to know that I will have a degree so no matter what I do in life, at least I got that.

I know for a fact that I majored in the wrong subject. But I had fun. I'm starting back to get a 2yr degree in a week (the 1st degree was a 4yr degree). Hopefully this time I've picked a better major.

I have no regrets for going to college. To pay for college I went into the AF ROTC. I got my 4 year degree in computer science and only had $12,000 in debt.
I sometimes wish that I stayed with Mechanical Engineering instead of switching to CS. Although I would not give up the friends that I made in college.
BTW; I make over $80K a year. You can not get that with out going to college

I don't regret going. I could be a professional student if I had the money to afford it. I love learning.....did it pay off in the job market? No. People make more money in non-professional roles. I started out great. But it lasted a short time till it's basicly worthless now. Seems more people prefere people who know nothing where they can tell you what they want you to know and never question anything for cheap.....than someone who knows what they're doing for a few bucks more. I know there's a few patients who were thankful I didn't blindly follow orders because they'd be pushing daisies now......ya...and some who really want my education.....unfortunatly, they want it for minimum wage. What I learned they can't take from me....just didn't equal more money.

I do. I went to college and then to law school. Now I am an attorney and have to abstain from all kinds of behavior or risk losing my license. Also, I have huge student debt. If I knew back then what I know now, I would have become a plumber, electrician, or AC repair guy. They make tons of money, and nobody cares if they get drunk and get into a barfight.

the debt is the worst.
I could be doing the same thing i am now...but could have taken alot of loopholes so that I could be debt free.
My parents were not supportive and it was just hard.
I would say go to a college at home if money is an issue...and work your but off at night. Trust me...it will so be worth it!!!

Never. I did major in the wrong subject. I should have done art, since it is my talent in life. I currently make about $20,000 a year, so it hasn't helped me earn more. It has made me a much better person. I raised three children who know how to think and want me to homeschool their children someday. According to them, I know more than any teacher they ever had!
