I'm sorry to hear about the degree choice, but I'm sure has happened to many people in life. How do you know or choose what you would like to do for the REST of your life? Usually you try to find things that have interested you though your childhood and high school days, but interests can change very quickly. The people who work for many years and love what they do are VERY lucky! <br/><br/>I know you say "if you could go back" and I'm sure you know that it's never too late to go back. You might not be able to go all out and spend another 4 years completely focusing on college but you may be able to take internet classes or maybe even part time classes at a local university. I have a few friends who are adult learners who've went through the same thing. According to them it is much easier to receive government funding, scholarships, and grants to pay for their college education than it is for young students fresh out of high school:)<br/><br/>I'm currently helping a close friend who recently became a father and works two jobs to support his family but told me that he would like to go back to college. Together we will probably find him a solution for funding and pick a schedule that works for his life. I also agreed to tutor him in math...haha. <br/><br/>Anyway, I hope this helps, and am glad that you visited my site. <br/><br/>Thanks for using <a HREF="http://www.smbcollegelife.com" REL="nofollow">SMB College Life!</a> Thanks Lisa!

If I could go back I'd choose my major more wisely. I dreamed of a job but come to find out it was not the job that suited me at all.<br/><br/>I agree that you should work hard, keep your eye on the prize and do everything you can to reach it. Even if your goal changes the skills you learned along the way will serve you well.<br/><br/>Peace,<br/>Lisa I’m past this point in my life. If I could go back I’d choose my major more wisely.
