Did you pick your college course and regret it later?

Well if you have the right adviser it will make your college experience a whole lot easier. They are trained to help you pick the right courses so that you will reach your degree with ease. Now you have to put the work in of coarse. There is no slacking off in college. You are there to learn how to be successful in your chosen career. College is hard work and you have to be willing to dedicate yourself to your course work.

i never wanted to take up nursing. it was my mom's choice and i was really having a hard timekeeping up with the course. but later on, i started to enjoy it and love it. i was doing good and passed the board exam by just studying on my own. but still, i have this feeling that i want to do something else, like i am proud that i am a registered nurse but i also hate the fact that i never really got to enjoy anything i this world LOL there are just a lot f things i want to do while i am still young. i wanted to be a flight attendant, work in an office, and things like that but not in a hospital setting. but i know when i am finally with my boyfriend and get married, i will be working as a nurse since it is a really good source of income.

I don't really regret the course I took in college, what I regret is not knowing fully what I wanted to do with my life until AFTER I graduated and have to basically get my bachelor's degree all over again.

I think that it sometimes takes more than just go around in college to figure out what we want to be. I think it is an enchanted life that someone finds what they want to do for the rest of their life as young as kids are when they graduate. I don't think it is failing so much as it is changing direction. I did electronics and now I am doing Business. Business may not be my last choice either. Who know what will come in the future and I would like to be open to them. Take care.

this is the problem most people have ,it is only later in life that people realize that the courses the chose was not really what they wanted . some may end up successful but not happy

I chose my course because at that time, computer technology was at its peak. I did well in class, but I didn't really get to pursue that field after i graduated. I got in to training and management field. Although, the computer skills I learned helped a lot, but I think I would have been happier if I took up Education or Accounting. I didn't go for those choices before, because I thought there's just too many people going for that field, and I wanted to be more unique.

I didn't like the course I took up in college. I chose it because I want to be practical. Education is a very good course but I did not see myself before as a teacher having a very long patience. I just wanted to finish a 4 year degree course.Now, I am already working. I not find it difficult to look for a job. As long as there are schools and students wanted to learn, I will have a job in teaching. I am now having a good income and can now help in the finances. I am happy about it. Because of that, I can say that I do not regret the course I took up. As time goes by, I am starting to enjoy and love it.

I agree with you in part that the course we pick are sometimes influenced by our desire to find work after we graduate. But I think if we don't really like what we chose, it would make it difficult for us to succeed in that profession. Difficult, but not impossible since there are still a lot who had excelled in their chosen fields even if they didn't really liked the course back in college. I never regretted the business administration course I had chosen. It was something I had really wanted. My regret though is not making the most out of it back then. Although I earned my degree, it was however challenging for me to find good work since my grades weren't that spectacular :)

i took up nursing (i made the decision without any force from anyone) and i, kind of, regretted it because of the kind of government we have in the Philippines. It is different here, you have to know someone from the government in order for you to land a job as a nurse in a government hospital. i got disappointed when i realized that i placed second in the application but didnt land the job, then later on, i heard from my friends who volunteered (when you volunteer, you are paying the hospital) to work at the hospital that the "nurses" they accepted had backers (people with high ranks from the hospital/government), while i didnt.. it's just so disappointing. :( if i only knew that it will be like that, i wouldve chosen another career..

Yes, I became an electronic engineer and very quickly became obsolete! All the computer and IT graduates have the same problem. Reality is that only basic mechanical or electrical engineers have a future, and only then if they are versatile enough to change according to demand. I had friends who studied civil engineering who, instead of designing bridges and structural items, ended up designing ladies under garments. Yes, the bra is structural engineering! If I had to start my life again, I really wouldn't know what to choose!

I never picked a college course and regret it but in high school I took a year of Latin. WHAT was I thinking LOL Well what I was thinking was I would need it when I went for medical training. Its all good it was a hard course but I did learn a lot. Our teach was actually from where Latin was the main language and man he demanded perfection in our Latin. Don't say never on your dream You may have to study at a slower pace, but you can do it. I am 59 years old and when I start talking on what I have achieved in my life I am always amazed that I learned that much! Keep the chin up dear and just go slow. and remember to BREATHE. When you get stumped stop take a walk outside nature is always a relaxer and will clear your head before you decide to tackle more homework. Do field trips to better understand what you are trying to learn and accomplish. I homeschooled my son his final 3 years in high school. I did as much hands on with him in history and science. he graduated in 2010 with a 3.42 GPA and in upper third of his class. I never dreamed I could be a teacher. Especially doing six courses a year. Like I said don't give up. I am still amazed at what I have accomplished Huggs to you!

My mother choose the course that I was going to take in college. I have no option but to follow what she wants because if not I can't continue my studies due to inadequate finances. At first I regret it because I have a hard time adjusting to it. Luckily, I graduated and was able to land a job. I'm not fulfilled with what I've finished because until now I end up imagining what will I be if I finished the course I want. As years goes by I learned to like the course I finished because I realized that it's not in what we like or we don't like but its the attitude to succeed really matters. Regrets happen when we don't pursue to succeed.
