(I know old saying) The people you meet, the network of friends and profs are all just as valuable as the education. Soak it all in. Learn it all. Do it while your young!
I know the 4 year plan can be hard if you are accumulating loans and have the worry of whether you will have any job at all to pay them off. I am sorry we do not make quality education available (affordable) to every young person. Education is an investment in all of our futures. We personally are going into huge debt for our kids college educations.
So.. Do people TRUELY regret going to college???????? Even if your not doing the job your degree is for? TRUELY, you would say, "I wish I didn't have this BA Degree."? I certainly regret not going and it is hard to go back. I don't think a good education is ever a waste no matter what you decide to do for your job. Expensive perhaps, but not a waste! Maybe something you appreciate more as you get older.  |
You are right, now that i think about it. I do not regret going to college. I had a good time there and learned a lot. Its an experience that is not to be missed.
While i am not currently using my degree to its fullest i guess i'm glad i have it and can say i went to college and graduated with almost a 4.0. I did learn a lot in college that i use in everyday life and its nice to be knowledgeable about a lot of different things.
