If you could go back in time, would you study something different in college?

As of now, I would not have gone to college and would have instead learned a trade like masonry.
In a months time that answer may be different. I have yet to find a good job with my degree

I got a degree in film... dont get a degree in film unless you live in LA or want to move to LA and have the money too.
There is pretty much no steady work outside of LA.
I would get my degree in computer science or IT work, I originally wanted to do CS but i was a scared little bitch about all the math involved but i would probably be making 70 to 100k right now

I would have:
...slept more
...studied before partying (rather than the other way around)
...slept with more people.

they kicked me out of my CS degree because I had a C before and another C in bio even tho i re did the class and got a B all the other classes, it really sucks so yeah now i wish that i had just gotten a couple certificate 30,000 dollars is a waste I can still do IT stuff but that's just as boring and you don't make that much more money, I might get the information degree and just do it until I get fired and move back to my parents area

I would'nt have wasted time going at all. My greatest accomplishments in the short time i attended a community college were sabotaging an entire computer room by switching about all the wires, as well as masturbating and smoking pot inside my empty classroom. I majored in chem and minored in small business management, and my lack ov interest in other courses at the time would have been equal in proportion. I now have a job i enjoy and live comfortably, if modestly. As a child i envisioned myself as a blimp pilot or marine biologist specializing in pinnipeds, but i was never afforded the opportunities to pursue those paths. Maybe those would have been more ideal if i could go back in time and was also granted the chance and finances to attend the necessary courses.

Were these opportunities withheld from you, or did you waste your time at college smoking pot and jacking off?

I love what I do for a living & certainly makes me happy. But if I could go back in time I'd go to med school. Specialize either in neurology or emergency medicine. Sometimes I still float the idea tbh. But it's too late for all that.

I probably wouldn't have gone at all but if I had to go back I would've done computer science

i'm about two semesters away from having a BA in philosophy. i believe my field chose me. i simply cannot see myself studying anything else, nor would i want to be anyone else than the man i am today after the five years of heartbreak, turmoil and anguish that i've endured to earn my education. college has been anything but a party for me. but it's permanently changed me for the better. and with respect to my career, combined with my previous experience (i was a civil cadd tech for about ten years), there's a lot of value in someone like myself; i've recently started a job in a lucrative industry where things are already moving fast. i don't know where it's all going just yet, but things are finally looking up, and i'm looking forward to enjoying the ride.
if i have any regret it's that i cannot attend law school due to my ancient criminal past. i'm told it could perhaps be overlooked because of my circumstances, but it's not a gamble i'm willing to make. it hurts. i'd make a stellar attorney. but things happen for a reason. and career withstanding, professional school is still in my sights. maybe having a less demanding day job will afford me access to fields in which a high degree of philosophical training would come in handy (like grant writing, non profit research etc.).

Both. My grandparents and i were not able to afford the necessary training and education for those fields at the time, and i was comfortable smoking pot and jerking off instead ov putting effort towards subpar education in less desirable fields. Why do you ask? Do you figure me as lazy?
