I never finished college because of my of an MI. I worked in fast food during and after my brief college career but moved on to retail work. Things were pretty good until my anxiety became worse forcing me to drop down into a less stressful and lower paying position. I then got a job in manufacturing which was considerably less stressful than retail work. I worked there until I got injured and then I worked in the office of said manufacturing plant until again my anxiety forced me to quit.

I am fine as long as I can work one-on-one with people and without much pressure from the higher ups to finish things in a quicker manner. I don't do well with deadlines or multitasking.

I wish I had finished my college education. I want to go back to try to get a degree or certification for something that I can do and that won't aggravate my anxiety.

For me it wasn't so much about second thoughts as it was about it was my only option.
