Roasted vegetables and dippy eggs!
The lunch of champions!
At around noon, I roasted some Brussels sprouts after tossing them in olive oil and garlic salt while I sautéed about a quarter of a chopped red onion.
Once the vegetables were ready, I placed them in a bowl with a handful of walnuts and topped them with two dippy eggs, allowing the yolk to drip all over the vegetables.
So incredibly good. If you haven’t tried using egg yolk as a “sauce,” I highly recommend it!
I also had an apple and a Babybel light cheese. Sweet + Salty!
Regret
On my morning walk with Sadie today, I listened to NPR’s TED Radio Hour podcast on “The Pursuit of Happiness.”
The podcast featured three different speakers with one, Kathryn Schluz, speaking specifically about regret.
Three tidbits I found really interesting (according to Kathryn):
- Of all the regretful feelings experienced by people, the most regret surrounded decisions made relating to education (what we studied, lack of education, what we did with the education that we did get)
- Regretful feelings surrounding decisions relating to careers, relationships and parenting followed education, but were also strong
- People also noted feeling significant financial regret, though these feelings weren’t as intense and didn’t seem to “stick” like other regretful feelings
The statistic surrounding the regret people feel about education stated that 36 percent of regretful feelings experienced by people pertain to decisions made regarding education.
I found that fascinating.
I’m not sure why it was especially interesting to me, but I cannot help but notice just how many of my peers seem to be changing directions in their careers right now. I did it myself last year!
I turned 27 last month, so I suppose this makes sense. My friends and peers studied one thing, gave it a shot in the “real world” for a few years and realized it wasn’t what they wanted to do for the rest of their life. Off the top of my head I can think about one friend who is currently a news anchor, but is hoping to break into advertising. Another is an editor who wants to study psychology and become a counselor. Big changes!
My bachelor’s degree is in advertising and public relations. My minor is in marketing and I learned very quickly that a career in marketing just wasn’t for me. (You may read a bit more about this time in my life here.)
While part of me wishes my educational background had something to do with health, nutrition, exercise or wellness, I still feel like my major is beneficial to me in my field (specifically the public relations aspect). I don’t have regret about the decisions I made surrounding my education, but I do have a lot of “what if” questions that swim through my head surrounding a bunch of different career paths.
Question of the Afternoon
- Do you have any regret surrounding decisions you made regarding your education?
![\"Quantcast\"/](\"//pixel.quantserve.com/pixel/p-1e3-7hOJ_U8Bg.gif\")
First of all– HELLO! I miss you, friend!
Second of all- I totally get it. I’m an elementary education major and it wasn’t until my last year of school(when I was in my internships) that I realized that it wasn’t the career for me.
So I went from being an elementary education major to a freelance social media strategist with a dream of becoming a professional singer/songwriter.
I now wish I would have been an Advertising/ PR major, or even music. Something I enjoyed a bit more. But we can’t go back and I know I learned a lot from my major no matter what.
I kind of love our generation for the courage to step out and follow our dreams, even if it doesn’t fit with what society expects us to do. Go us!
katyyyy!!! hiii! i miss your face!
Hiiiii! I miss yours more!
I’m a lawyer and my first year of law school was 2008… right as the big economic collapse came. I followed the popular advice to go to the best school I got into (with the highest price tag, even with a $6,500 scholarship). Looking back, even though I LOVED my law school and the friends I met there, I would probably go to a “worse” school that would put me in little or no debt.
Ditto to the above.
I knew what being a lawyer would entail but I didn’t really know exactly what that would be like. The stress, long hours, billing… I could go on and on.
I met my now husband in law school so I don’t regret it for that. But we’re not about $300K in debt and pay $3,000 a month in loans (give or take). I thought I’d make “so much money” when that’s far from the case. My first job started at $50K – in NYC. Yeah.
I don’t regret it but at the same time, if I could go back, I don’t know if I’d do it all the same way.
Exactly. Back then almost everyone got jobs out of law school and now it’s so tough. My husband is doing something totally non-legal. I thought for sure I’d get out of school and make $100k so my loans would be no problem…. not so much!
I feel the exact same way. My $200K in loans is in no way covered by the salary I make and I’m 2 years out of law school. It’s frustrating when going into Law School you are given loans with the indication that you would be making a high enough salary to pay them back!
If I could do it all over again I would get my teaching degree not go to law school.
Laura – If it makes you feel any better, I’m 4 years out now and doubt my salary covers my loans. If it weren’t for my husband, things would be totally different. =/
I am so happy I took the time to scroll down and read the comments! I am a first year attorney and my monthly student loan payment for law school is out of control! The good thing about the law degree is that hopefully it will appreciate in value someday, but that’s just really me trying to be optimistic! Right now I am working insane hours and keeping a tight budget just to pay my loans, so the word regret frequently creeps into my head when I think of law school! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your comments – it helps to feel like others are in the same boat!
All this talk of law school sounds so familiar! My husband went to law school and graduated in 2009. We have a lot of regret about this. We moved from FL to KY for law school for a fresh start thinking we would get in state tuition since we bought a house and established residency but NO. He submitted a residency application package every semester and was denied every semester. He even filed suit against the school when he graduated, but they ruled in favor of the school. It sucks! $150K in debt and him making $50K a year is definitely not where we thougt we would be now.
That is really interesting that many people have regret about education. I studied event planning and business in college and really wished I wouldn’t have been scared of science classes because in my masters degree, I’ve had to take all science and I love it! I guess we can all look back and realize things we wished we had known back then, but that’s part of life!
OMG I LOVE dippy eggs!! MMM! 🙂 I can totally understand why people regret their education choices especially in today’s world. Also, those Nike’s you said you got for your birthday are pretty awesome.
I wish I majored in something nutrition-related rather than business management…never too late eh!
That is so interesting!! I don’t ever really regret my major in college because it was fascinating (exercise science) and now I am finishing my graduate degree for occupational therapy, which I don’t regret either! I think more of my regret comes from wasting so much time trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my life instead of actually living it up while at school.
I thought for sure when I read your post title on Twitter that your regret would be not having TWO SADIE’S!!
I have a bachelors in English literature and while I wouldn’t change that, I would maybe have double majored or minored in something “useful.” However, as I’m currently a SAHM none of that really matters right now at all. We’ll see how I feel in a few years…
I’m probably in the minority but I love my career! I started our in journailsm (as a reporter/anchor) when I was 19 and today I’m celebrating my 9th year in the business.
Most of my friends, however, have regret about their education and a handful of them have gone back to school or switched careers. I believe it’s never too late to follow your dreams and do what you love!
That’s so interesting! To me, educational regrets aren’t as much of an issue because I think you can always find a way to further educate yourself and change your path. Regret pertaining to relationships, on the other hand, are harder for me to swallow because I feel like I have less control. It’s not just your actions or lack of that can lead to regret. Plus, it’s just such a personal feeling of failure and rejection when you falter in cultivating a relationship.
I love being a teacher, but I wish I had minored in something nutrition related. It wasn’t until after graduating that I really became interested, but I Am fascinated by everything nutrition and fitness related!
ha! This couldn’t speak more true for my very own life. I to was a public relations major with a business marketing minor. I had a ton of different marketing jobs in college and when I was out I took a job in the construction industry doing project manangement. Say What? Yes, I took the job for the higher pay. Now 5 years down the road I to am looking at that decision of, am I happy doing this with my life. It takes a lot of courage to make the jump that you did. I hope to one day find that courage and figure out what it is that will make me happy in my career. Thanks for being an insperation to all of us that are on the edge of that jump.
I have those “What If?” questions sometimes too in regard to my major! I also graduated with a degree in PR and didn’t get into fitness until after graduation. Sometimes I wonder if I would have chosen a different career path based on my interests now, but there’s always grad school if I decide I need a career change!
I just found your blog, and wanted to also let you know that I love it! 🙂
so glad you found me! thanks for commenting, lindsay!
I definitely don’t have any regrets about my education at this point, though considering the fact that I just graduated from college 10 days ago, that’s probably a good thing haha.
I wonder if some of this stems from our flexible culture. I can’t really speak from experience about “the good ol’ days,” but it seems to me like it’s a lot more common now for people to refuse to settle. Don’t like your career? Cool, change it. I don’t think flexibility is necessarily a bad thing, but I also think there’s something to be said about sticking to something even when things are difficult. No one promised that life would be easy, fun, or happy all of the time, but it seems like that’s what people pursue more than fulfillment, which I don’t think is inherently tied to ease, enjoyment, or a temporary state of happiness. We live in a culture where it’s relatively easy to change things if you want to, and I wonder what a regret survey would look like in a place where change wasn’t nearly as viable of an option.
I sometimes wish that I had done a different major in college. The frustrating thing is that they make you decide so YOUNG! I remember when I was a senior in High School, once I got into A&M I then had to apply for a school within the university. I was told that it was harder to transfer into a major than it was to choose now, so i picked Business bc it seemed like the most versatile choice. I had no idea!! Luckily, I fell in love with Marketing and now love my job and career, but I definitely wish that there was more flexibility in college and that majors weren’t so defining of your entire career!
I’m currently working on my education. Pursuing higher education has come later for me in life due to other life events. I don’t regret waiting or postponing the pursuit of my degree because I believe that everything happens for a reason. My children are my priority and their childhood goes by in the blink of an eye. So, in order to devote time to them, it’s meant putting other things on the back burner. I will resume my studies in June and I am excited about the program I am enrolled in. I’ve learned in my life that it’s easier to go with the flow. Yes, I make plans and goals and I work towards achieving them. But what career I ultimately end up in is really a huge question mark, especially in today’s economy and industry!
Interesting post. I’m enjoying all the comments!
I don’t necessarily think that I regret my educational decisions because they helped make me very well-rounded (bachelors in Political Science and French with minors in Business French and psychology and a Masters in Human Development – yea, I’m a nerd). But I do wish that I had chosen something that was more economically secure or had better long-term job prospects. My fiance is a computer engineer, so he is pretty much set for life anywhere we go. I, however, have to scour the internet for potential positions!
TED is awesome! I do not have regret but could have saved a lot of money had I not changed college tracks a few times.
I think European cultures have it so right with the gap years prior to college. Our brains don’t even fully develop until we are 25. How are we supposed to make reasonable decisions on our lives future when we are 18-19. It’s prevalent nowadays to see college students/grads change their mind several times.
Wow, great discussion!! Isn’t it crazy how we can be really dead set on a career path at first, but totally want something different after a few years of ‘getting what we always wanted’? Although I’m not 100% sure of where I want to be in 10 years (well, I have an idea), I don’t regret the BBA degree that I got because I know it’s going to be useful at each part of my career path. And I totally agree with Katy (first commenter) said about loving our generation for stepping out and following our dreams – woop woop! 🙂
I love NPR – i’ll definitely be listening to this podcast. I have a journalism degree and I work in advertising full time, and a freelance food writer part time. Although I love writing, I had a dream growing up that I wanted to be a dermatologist! I love studying and school, so I think I could have really done it.
I love egg yolks as a “sauce”!! My boyfriend made a rice bowl last night that included red, orange, yellow, and green bell peppers, zucchini, 1 overeasy egg, avocado, and melted goat cheese and when the yolk broke and soaked in with the rice, avocado, and goat cheese, I was in heaven. 🙂
I don’t regret my education or where I received it from, but my current job has nothing to do with my major in college. It was actually a wonderful job I was offered right when I graduated and I quickly snatched it up. Although I love what I’m doing, I’m not sure this is what I want to do for the rest of my life.
After spending a month in Europe, I really wish I would have taken a year off after college to travel the world and experience a different culture. One of my sorority sisters has been au pairing in Germany for the past 7 months and has been able to travel all around Europe on the weekends. I wish I would have taken a chance and moved abroad rather than jump into the 8 to 5 workday immediately after graduating.
I’m hoping that one day I get the courage to leave my job (when I’m financially secure) and follow the dreams I have now. But who knows, maybe my dreams will change with age. Regardless of what my dreams are, I don’t want to ever regret not pursuing them!
The article on Regret is totally fitting for me. If I could go back, I would change everything I did from where I went to school, my major, and even getting my MA in I/O psych. I would do things very differently if I knew then what I know now.
This is a pretty timely post. I actually majored in Nutrition with big plans for what I wanted to do with it, but even with the degree none have them have really worked out. I want to write about it, but my blog never really took off. I actually think if I could go back I would have majored in comm and minored in nutrition or vice versa. I think for someone like you (and me) having more of a writing and pr background and passion for nutrition is much more useful than the way I went about it. I’m not even working in nutrition at all right now and trying to find a way back into it.
Yes, I definitely regret my decision to study Comm/PR in college. I love where I went to school and I wouldn’t change that, but I would have definitely changed my major to something in which I have more interest. Nutrition would have definitely suited me better. I recently left a high paying sales/marketing job b/c I was so miserable and I’m looking for work in something less ‘pigeon’holing’, like Administration, until I find what it is I really want to do!
I definitely have regret about what I decided to study in college. I was very passionate about Theater when I first began college. I started off as a Theater major. Then I switched to Communications specialization in Radio & Television with a minor in Theater. I would have much rather majored in something dealing with the hospitality industry or possibly culinary school. Hospitality and food are two things I am most passionate. It’s hard to know what you want to major in just coming out of high school and even now in my late 20’s.
I need to try using egg yolk as a “sauce.” sounds so good!
as for your question about regret, interesting question! I don’t regret what I chose to study in college at all – it was interesting to me as I now make good money working in IT so for me, it was a great decision!
Have you ever thought about taking some nutrition courses at your local community college or becoming a certified trainer/fitness instructor? Seems as if it would be a positive career move considering the synergy with your healthy living/fitness blog. It would also probably suppress feelings of educational regret.
I understand we all have feelings of dissatisfaction in our lives to some degree. However, at the end of the day we are each in control of our own lives and have the ability to make the necessary changes or seek the positive opportunities that will ultimately lead to a more satisfying life.
*Note this comment is not intended to aggravate anyone but to simply encourage those who have regrets or lurking “what if” sentiments to take a risk and discover their full potential in whatever field they desire. You owe it to yourself.
I completely agree! This is EXACTLY what I was thinking!
Take control of your own life, and if your regrets really affect you, then look into doing something about it.
I’ve realized that I need to pay more attention to my happiness- I have the tendency to ‘stick with’ things due to a sense of obligation, but have since learned that I really need to evaluate whether the effort is worth it in some situations. This can be applied to jobs, relationships, school, whatever! I’ve learned not to feel guilty about going for what I really want.
My boss actually sent me this article the other day. It is short but interesting (and somewhat applicable)
http://www.forbes.com/sites/jessicahagy/2012/02/28/the-six-enemies-of-greatness-and-happiness/
My education is actually something I don’t regret at all. I studied education and English to become an English teacher, and I genuinely love what I do. I was going to get my PhD in Literature but chose to focus on the education route instead, and I think that was a good career choice as well. It’s incredible to think that I made and stuck with this huge life decision at seventeen years old, but I’m glad I did!
I have … so many regrets about my education. I have my bachelor’s in journalism and when I graduated from college I was convinced that advertising was what I wanted. After a brief stint in an agency, I woke up to the harsh reality that advertising is not the career for me. In fact, it was a miserable experience.
Now I’m stuck with a resume and credentials all related to marketing and PR and I feel … stuck.
Not to mention journalism was ranked as one of the top ten most useless majors this year.
And why is that? Because thanks to blogging and citizen journalism, anyone can do it. You don’t need a degree.
As I’ve gotten a bit older (I’m only 26), I realized my true passion are writing (which I clearly don’t need a degree to do, but it’s a heartbreakingly hard business to get into), running, cooking, and dogs. I so wish I had gotten a biology degree or something so I could work with animals.
And it’s impossibly expensive to go back to school. Especially when I already have massive amounts of student loans, bills I need a full-time to cover, and a husband who wants to go back to school too.
Ah, regret.
I regret not majoring in something health/nutrition related in college too. I majored in Political Science and thought I wanted to go to law school. I worked on political campaigns for a couple years and now I’m changing careers and going to purse a Master of Public Health in Health Promotion.
Yes, I do sometimes feel regret with my education. I LOVE LOVE LOVE what I studied…Dietetics/Nutrition, however, I never really understood the process of the nutrition/dietetic internship process! Crazy! When I first want away to school, I wanted to do everything. One thing I do not regret is making my hobby my career!!
It’s so funny that you did a post about this because lately this has really been looming in my head! I am that person that has been going to college for ten years and NO degree to show for it! It’s so discouraging to think all the time and money wasted because of my lack of discipline when I started college. At that time I was much more concerned of my relationship with my ex that I didn’t put the time and effort I should have in my studies! Then I was pursuing an Accounting degree with the hopes of making money and never was able to get the degree because of my GPA. Now ten years later and majoring in Management, I am graduating in August. My hope is to do Event Planning (quite the opposite of Accounting) because its what I LOVE to do. I do wish it hadn’t taken me so long… but you live you learn right?
Thank you for the post….. it’s nice to see with in the comments that I am not the only one that feels this way about my education.
I dislike the word “regret”, however (now that I know my true passion lies in the fitness industry) I sometimes regret that I decided to pursue degree(s) with majors in English and Comparative Literature, rather than in Fitness and Health..
As a friend recently reminded me, it’s never too late to follow your passion!!! So although I don’t ever feel my education was a waste.. I am constantly furthering my education in topics that interest me.. (aka- fitness,food and exercise)
For sure I do. I still love my field (Marketing) and think my degree was great but it is not my passion. I love health and teaching people. I have weighed my options recently about going back to school but it is a scary thought only 5 years out of University and at 27 years old.
I feel the same way! I’m scared to give up my steady paycheck to be a poor college student again and take ANOTHER 5 years of my life to reach a new goal.
Thanks for the post! I’m about to graduate with a degree in Molecular, Cell, and Developmental Biology from the University of California at Santa Cruz. I’ll be heading to grad school in the Fall to study Nutritional Sciences in San Diego and just yesterday I started second guessing my decisions. It all seems so permanent. Clinical dietetics has been my focus for the past year, but now part of me is itching to make an even greater impact on people’s lives. I want to be challenged every single day. I think there is something to be said about feeling like you are reaching your full potential. I may feel like I have it all figured out at 22 years old, but I’m just waiting to have my career goals do a 180! Especially after reading the above comments 😉
Wow, that is interesting! I majored in English in college and loved it. After college I fell into Marketing, but don’t really enjoy it. I want to go back to school, and I’m taking my time to REALLY figure out what it is I want to do. You can always change career paths, and I like that I’m in a job that’s financially secure enough to allow me time to save and figure out what I want to do in the future.
I find this topic not surprising at all… probably 50% of my friends have regretted their majors and are looking to make big changes and we are 27!
I actually changed majors and colleges junior year..I started with as a pre-law and political science major at at a Washington D.C. university and with time realized I would wake up regretting this decision and my career..So I transfer, an incredibly difficult decision but the best one I have made in my life. I transferred to the University of Massachusetts and major in Nursing! I absolutely LOVE my career and can honestly say I make a difference in the pediatric oncology world 🙂
I can’t believe how many friends have gone back to nursing school after completing their 1st degrees
I studied business at a great university and although I don’t regret it I do wish I had done something a little more specific. Everyone does business nowadays when they don’t know what to study and that’s kind of what I did too. I wouldn’t give my degree up for anything, but I do wish I had branched out a little more!
I’m oozing regret over my education, but I wouldn’t know that what I studied wasn’t right for me if I hadn’t studied what I did. And I hate my job but I wouldn’ t know that my current field (Program Evaluation) isn’t for me if I hadn’t worked in it for awhile. Our past decisions make us who we are today 🙂
I definitely regret my education decisions, that said I’m happy to have a first class BA honours degree at the age of 24 having left school at the age of 15… I, like you, would love to have some sort of background in nutrition and health and at the moment I’m actually contemplating going back to study… Great topic!
I wouldn’t change anything about my schooling. I did the first 2 years at a community college and never declared a major. Got a job where I liked one of the positions and then went to school for that position. Worked full time while going to school so I have no student loans. Or credit card debt. (and got tuition reimbursement from my work!)
Now I’m working as a Technical Writer and have a technical writing degree. I also love the place I work.
I will say that the subject I write about isn’t the most interesting to me, but that’s my fault. I could find a job writing about a different subject but my workplace treats me good and I work with good people so that makes it worth it.
Maybe someday I’ll write for IKEA and clean up their ridiculous assembly instructions. 🙂
I am about to start my final year as an undergraduate (roll tide!). About a year ago, when I started to get into healthy eating/exercise I had a bit of an existential crisis: I wondered if I should have been a nutrition major instead of a computer science major. Clearly the two fields are completely unrelated, so making the switch would be like starting as a freshman again.
However, in my graduate school pursuit, I found programs that are the perfect fit for me: using technology to promote health.
I’m pretty exciting about that the future has in store for me.
I found the comments interesting. I studied Chemcial Engineering and worked on Pharma, biotech and medical device before expanding on my engineering experience by pursuing a Law degree. I plan to practice as a Patent Attorney, so the two fields go hand in hand. I have no regrets about my college major. It was a combination of two things I loved most, math and chemistry.
Even though I didn’t finish college, I have no regrets about it. I couldn’t decide on a major and now that I’m almost 30, I still don’t know ‘what I want to be when I grow up’! Instead I have found a job that isn’t terrible (like the last one I was stuck with for 10 years) and pays the bills and I take continuing education classes and random workshops in subjects/hobbies that interest me. I think I just love learning about so many different things, it’s impossible to narrow it down to 1-2 that I want to invest a lot of time and money in- If I could have taken courses in every subject college had to offer, I probably would have!
Thanks for the totally relatable blog, Julie (as usual!) and thanks to everyone for the amazing and relatable comments!!! It makes me feel better, because I totally agree with (almost) everyone! Although I just recently found blogging (and LOVE it!), I have been cooking for many years now, and I wish all the time that I had gone to culinary school when I graduated high school. I am a physician assistant in Pediatrics, and while I like my job, I definately don’t love it, and most days have NO interest in going to work. But, as a lot of you have said, it’s hard to give up the lifestyle associated with two incomes and a steady paycheck when you are saving for a house, babies, etc. I guess my new goal now is to be able to cook and blog full time, and until then, I’ll just be content doing both!!!
I have “what if” thoughts about where I attended school. I went to Trinity College in CT, and tuition is (room and board included) upwards of $54,000 per year. It’s one of the most expensive liberal arts colleges in the nation. I sometimes wish I had just gone to UConn (being from CT) which is a fabulous state school. I didn’t like many aspects of Trinity, and getting my monthly Sallie Mae loan bills kind of adds insult to injury. In the end it was my choice to go there (although I feel like I made the decision based on the pressure to go to a NESCAC school and didn’t really know what I actually wanted).
But then I think about my life now: I love my job, love the people I met by moving here after college, am living alone and learning about myself, met a cute boy… I wouldn’t be where I am today if I didn’t originally make that decision!
My education is without a doubt my biggest regret, and it’s something I still think about pretty much every day. I made a REALLY huge, incredibly stupid mistake when I chose my first college, and I transferred after my freshman year….only when I did transfer, I chose the school that let me graduate in the least amount of time, not the school I actually wanted to go to. I had an okay time at NYU, but I never felt like I really fit in there or that the caliber of the education was on par for what my parents were paying. Rushing through and being determined to graduate a year early didn’t help, either. I guess my regret is less about the education itself, and more about the fact that I didn’t enjoy it! But hindsight is 20/20, and the one thing I’ve learned from it is that it’s never too late to make yourself happy- and no college or job field can do that by itself.
Probably my biggest education/career regret is not going to grad school right after college. I always had plans for a healthcare professional degree, but decided to work with my BS for a while first (clinical laboratory science). Now, I feel like I’ve wasted a lot of time and I’m having a hard time figuring out how to give up my full time salary to do that. Plus, my prerequisite courses for grad/professional school that I already took once during college are too old to use (most schools require classes taken within anywhere from 7 to 10 years) since I graduated in 2004. So, I’m going to have to retake some undergrad courses (costly & finding time while working full-time 3rd shift isn’t easy). I’ve basically spent the last 5 years thinking about the same problem & feel like all I’ve done is walk in circles. However, I don’t regret having 8 years of experience in the medical field (even if I didn’t plan on being in this field that long) & since I just turned 30,I’m determined to make some actual strides in the right direction this year 🙂
Totally. I got a degree in Marketing with a minor in Spanish. After graduation, I quickly decided that I was more interested in health and fitness. I got certified with group fitness then as a personal trainer and now as a specialist in fitness nutrition. I wish I had known then what I know now so I could have gotten a degree in exercise science and a major in dietetics. I actually tried to apply for a masters program in my home town last year for the RD program but since my major was so different from it, I’d basically have to get another bachelors and then a masters. *sigh* I would have loved to be more involved with non-profit organizations in college also.
While my interestes have changed and expanded since I graduated with my MBA almost 10 years ago (wow), I can’t say I regret my degree. My current job is directly in line with my degree. It’s a well-paying job, with a great work atmosphere if not challenging. I think the great thing about getting a business degree is that it’s pretty versatile.
That being said, I’d love to persue a new degree/career, that’ smore in line with my current interests but it’s pretty tough as a single mom to two elementary aged kids.
