I'm just writing this because I realize that, as I approach 40, I feel that I haven't achieved very much. I've been thinking about going back to college for many years and I know it's never going to happen. Well, I may take a class, but I'll never get a master's. Plus, I have to be frugal. I don't make much money. I don't like crowds (i.e. school) or driving.
I shouldn't be encouraged to go to school because it's only for the "achievement" or the "appearance of achieving" and "to feel good enough." I am doing job-wise what I absolutely love doing. I have been self-employed for the last six years and probably will never return to a "regular" job. It's like an obsession with me, though. My degree is in elementary education and I HATE that. I wanted to complete a liberal arts or humanities degree. I know I could have achieved more if I had been healthier emotionally when I was in college as a young adult. But I wasn't. I could have become a professor.
Ok, that's it for the regrets for me.
