We'll see how things shake out after my wife finishes school in about a year (she was about 35 when she left medical billing, and will be a BCBA in about a year... wasn't easy, but worth it).

It was unnecessary. Luckily downtown's skyways are insanely useful. Great time during the summer though! Skyways are the best. I wouldn't be kind to my younger self. "Diet and work out you fat PoS!"

Also, teach myself how to be a better student in the career I'm aiming for and travel with a better group of friends. I wasted about 5-6 years with people who didn't want to accomplish nothing. They talked about it, but never did anything. I had to separate myself from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Travel more with people you care about. I truly can't think of a better way to spend money or time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7DnBrnc53 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Actually, I would go back to when I was 22, not 21. I would tell myself to get out of the teaching-coaching track I was on and go in the Phys Ed-Sport part of my major (and maybe even look into Physical Therapy as well). I would also tell myself to not work at that camp the following year, and stay that the part-time job that I had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champ11 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Study something you are passionate about rather than something "that will get you a job." Talented, passionate people can make anything happen, the degree doesn't matter (not in all fields of course lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has to be some balance IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are actually invested in the degree, whether it is history or whatever, and are focused on learning and improving yourself....you will find success eventually no matter what the degree.

Define success. A job you enjoy in a field you love? Definitely possible. Financial success? Eh, maybe. That's not the type of logic I'd personally use when investing 10's of thousands of dollars in a formal a education. I think the most prudent way to go about incorporating the two is to have a career that pays bills and a hobby doing something you love (photography, gunsmithing, art, etc.) If you are talented enough and passionate about your hobby that you can eventually make a living at it, great, but if not you have a way to actually pay back those loans and provide a financially secure future for yourself.

navysaintsfan Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 To 21 year old me in 2004? "Don't look for answers at the bottom of that bottle" (I had severe alcohol issues in the Navy) "Invest in Amazon, and in 2010 Tesla Motors and whatever the hell a BitCoin is." "Before the beginning of the 2009 NFL season, bet the farm on New Orleans winning the Super Bowl. Just trust me." I think those would suit me best. My family's curse for a long time has been financial issues. Knowing I would have the means to take care of all of us would be wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
