Not any more, decided to kick it into high gear a little over 2 years ago and focused on cutting edge tech. Start my new job tomorrow making more than any other position I’ve held so far in my life.

Should have joined the rest of my brothers in the bitcoin mines 4 years ago.

Yes I do all the time. I am 2.5 years from retirement and my pension will be good, but I do not like my job and haven't for some time. Should have gotten a degree or quit earlier in my career.

I really wish I would have gotten into something sports related. It use to really bother me that I couldn't play sports, but I really should have considered doing something in sports media or marketing.

Yes 1000xs over

I probably wouldn’t be as stable but would likely enjoy my job more, make more money. I want a job where I show up, do a task, and go home. No thinking. Just show up do labor and go home.

I would have liked to be an officer on a merchant ship.
Grandfather captained merchant ships for most of his life.

Yes. Every single day. I always wanted to be either an athlete or actor, but I knew I wasn't good enough to be a pro, so I had to pick anything. Though I would do anything else other than what I do now.

Yep. Would've done a brief stint in the military after high school to help me grow up and get the education bennies...then gone to school to study something that I can actually use rather than something to meet the entrance quota...probably would've studied engineering...or partied my arse off.

I’m grateful for the route I ended up going. I’m glad I stopped and changed paths while I was still a student before going down a path I’d hate, first journalism and then law.

Sports is over saturated, unless you’re a former athlete, have insane connections, or for ESPN’s sake are an underrepresented minority, you have no shot.

Sometimes.

I make a decent living doing what I do. I’m in the camp I like my job 80-90% of the time. I work from home, company car, etc. I turned out very well for a General Studies degree recipient. Lol.

However, I did go back to school and got an MBA.

There is usually not an actual degree for my job though, except through experience.

If I had it to do over again, I would have went into engineering (civil).

Everyday. Not as much the career as the path i chose with my life as a young man. They kind of go hand in hand.

Nope. Wish I would’ve done a few things differently early on, but on the other hand I learned a few good lessons early.
