Obviously most people on here arent that old (other than Jules) so not a huge amount to reflet back on. But does anyone ever wish they went another route with their job/education instead of being where they are now?

Other than that though, I wish I'd stayed at college, not dropped out and actually qualified and got the work placement I would have loved.

I went to Uni....twice.....hated it both times.

No point living life by regrets, i'd be wealthier by now if i had stuck it out but i wouldn't have been any happier.

I wish I didnt bother going to Uni sometimes, think it was a waste of my time as what I want to do with my life I could learn from experience as much (probably more) that I could learn in a classroom.

Sometimes wish I'd got into a trade of some sort rather than sitting in an office all day.
Know I should have probably tried a bit more in school/stuck with college but think I've done pretty well with essentially no qualifications. I know plenty of people that have gone and got degrees and now stack shelves for a living

I kinda wish i'd studied finance and worked in investment banking but I didnt really know anything about it at the time.

I work in technology in investment banking anyway which is pretty cool. Got a few potential career paths, just see what happens I guess.

Go for it, might aswell do it while you are young is the way im thinking. Will just regret it in ten years time if you dont!
