This may actually fall under multiple categories, but since it's related to school, I figured this might be a decent place for it.
I just regret choosing the path I truly wanted 4 years after doing other paths. I wanted to start with psychology, but I listened to everyone else and did the more secure choice, Special Education (no offense to any special educators), but it's not what I really wanted. Then I moved back home and started at a new school, did another secure choice, Sign Language Interpreting. Figured, not much schooling needed and pretty much a guaranteed job. Finally now, after four years, I've decided to go for what I truly wanted, which means I'm about 2 years behind on that psychology degree and I'm already 22 and have used up so much financial aid that I'm worried I won't even get to finish schooling because I screwed up four years ago. Guess I'm also afraid I'll seem too old when starting out, though I'll probably still be in my 20's.
Just a regret I can't seem to shake
