If you had the chance to turn back time, what will you do?

Everyone of us has had many regrets in our lives.
A job offer you declined, a lover you spurned off...
2years ago I was offered a job to work some place else and I respectfully declined, wish I could have just done that and I know my life right now would've been a whole lot better.
Sometimes I find myself pondering about the "What Ifs" in my life...
How about you guys, you had stuff you wish you could change?

1st decision i regret is my choice to be lax during college. i took for granted my studies and just hang out with my friends. to this day i regret that decision because i knew if i was serious in college i could have had a good and high paying job. next decision i regret is an offer by a famous fast food restaurant. i did not know how much was the initial offer but i heard it was way better than my present job.

thanks for the post.
sad to say that's not really the case, i for one did pretty good during my college days. not to brag but i graduated honorable mention which was very close to cumlaude. but nowadays, it's really hard work and perfect timing which could help you score a great-paying job.
even with my grades really high, somewhere around 90 to 93 compared to my cgpa, I couldn't get work. took me almost a year before i got my first job and it didn't pay very well. just recently, I was also interviewed and i'm pretty sure I passed it but due to the economic crisis everyone's facing, they couldn't make an offer since headcount wasn't approved.
suffice to say, just keep trying and keep your head up and pray that one day, you'll reap what you sow.
