I regret going to college. I earned a degree in forestry and have been working at a gas station for the last 3 years. I can’t get hired anywhere else as I don’t have 3-5 years of experience.

I regret going to college. I studied chemistry, biology, physics and calculus to brew coffee, wipe down counters and to press the same button over and over again. Now I’m just bitter and angry.

I hate that I have a 4 yr degree and make less than 28k a yr, while my ex who has no degree, makes twice as much, and just got a job offer to earn 3 times as much! WTF! I regret going to college..

I regret going to college. I wish I would have joined the masonry union right after high school but my mom wanted me to go to college. I would be in a way different place than where I’m at now

There's still a long way to go.

I regret going to college for a male dominant trade. The comments are really starting to sting alittle bit but I have a lifetime in the field to go yet.
