No worries, mslif. Be happy with the present and work towards the future.

I failed out of 1st year Engineering.

I am working on that now as I am finishing my master's degree in cellular biology.
Sorry to hear you failed 1st year.

I convinced my wife to move here (to Norway from Poland) without finishing her education for two reasons:
-here in Oslo nobody cares what education you have. Personality and work experience is valued much higher (in a conversation with my boss after two years I just mentioned how it was in university and it turned out he did not know I had a degree).
-the city then was very boomish and in a desperate need for labor. You could visit to 6-7 agencies during one day and within 2 weeks you would have 5 good job offers with high pay even if you had no education or work experience.

Later I regreted a lot. I think this was my biggest mistake in my life. In her culture having a degree was/is important for self-esteem. When we split up I had so bad consciousness that I paid her the money needed to finish the education. Now she has went back to Poland to finish it and it makes me very happy (I am moving there in the end of this month since we are back together).

Probably going to grad school. I'm in my third year. It would be ok but I live on the opposite coast from my wife and will probably still end up getting the same job in two or three years that I would have gotten had I just gotten a one year masters.

It's not all bad as it's made pretty clear what my priorities should be.

Interesting point to hear as I need to start looking into grad schools ASAP. We shall see though.

a. Going to Paramedic school instead of becoming a RN or PA

b. Staying with ex-Girlfriend WAY TOO Long (but that did keep out of the dating pool long enough to meet my wife)

c. Becoming a SF Giants fan

cadillac1234, what is it you regret about being a paramedic?

I ask because I am considering becoming a paramedic.
