What Is One of Your Regrets?

[JaniceSW]

One of my regrets is getting married the first time and not staying in college to get my Master's degree.  However, on the other hand, I really didn't know myself well enough to make a lifelong career decision at that age.  I had no passion for any particular occupation. It has taken until I am well along in life to decide what path I wish I had followed for a career. A Master's degree would probably have opened some doors back then and pointed me in a direction.

Meeting old friends whom I thought were friends at that time and telling them my business.. Biggest regret.

not spending more time with my dad --now that he is gone i realize (to late) that he had a lot things to teach me and i wasn't there to learn them !

Not spending more time with people I loved before they were gone.

Not finding that one person that I could spend my life with.  I got married and I think I settled because I didn't think I could do better.  Only good thing was my daughter.  Now I'm single and don't have anyone to do things with or anyone that shows me affection and love.

     A University degree does not guarantee you a job...or happiness.
     It is better to pursue what really makes you happy!

A business decision that involved a bank that took us for ALL we had!

That I let my first big love slip out of my hands.  I did fall in love again with a great guy and we had 2 wonderful children, but I still often think of him and wonder what my life would be like if we married.

I wish I would have done more in sports.  Like becoming a coach.  I didn't know that they made so much money.  Wow.  Nothing like getting paid to play.

The only real regret I have is not getting a good education when it was actually possible for me.  I dropped out of college after two years, mostly because I didn't really know what I wanted to do, and also because I was living on my own and having to work full time as well as go to school. When I look back on it now, I think about how much energy I had and how I could have gotten a degree if I had just pushed on. Now, of course, most of the good work-at-home jobs require a four-year degree. Getting back to college on an online platform would be great after all these years, but both of our boys are in college now and it's taking a lot of our money just to get them through.
