I assume you mean knowing what I know now. In that case, I probably would have gone all the way through high school. As for higher education, I don't think so. Having dyslexia I don't think I'd have been able to keep up with the classes at that time. Today there are programs that can be taken advantage of.
I actually was dong better than most of me friends with degrees for a long time. I owned my own business that I saved for and opened without any help from anyone an was making over 100K for about ten years back in the 90s. So, dropping out didn't really hurt me. |

By the time I was in the ninth grade, I had done twelve years. Is that algebra? I too had a thriving business. Locksmithing. Some things I could grasp. The metric conversion, I battled with for two weeks and wound up dropping the pre-req. for nursing class. |

I would not have listened to my grandmother's advice and just gone ahead and studied psychology instead of pre med.

Well, I would have went in law and became a lawyer, and to be honest, I am happy that I never did. I spent 14 years working as a Chemical Operator/R&D Technician and I made a good life while I did that. But now, I am starting over, going into something completely different, and I am happy about that. So, I really don't feel I would have done anything different.

What would you have done differently in regards to your education if you could? I would have completed my college education and been a History major instead of an English major. I would have quit after third grade. I didn't learn anything in grades 4-12 that is of any practical use today. I would have been better off simply studying on my own. |

I would've gone to work and gotten some experience first, then do my music studies at a community college with no loans. College debt sucks! |

Nothing really, I studied all of the things that interested me on my own time and didn't have the patience for school to catch up with me so I dropped out. Plan on attending college for journalism and psychology in the future, hopefully college moves a little quicker than high school or I could get bored with it as well. |

I wish I had either finished my teaching certificate or gotten a degree in counseling instead of the useless ones I have now.

The only reason I would have pursued a degree is for economic value of it. The lack of it is holding up my career goals and options at this point. Other than that I see no value in it.

I wish I had skipped college altogether and just learned a freaking trade.

I would have went into fashion design
instead of interior design |

I think I want to study a little bit more classical history
Greek, Alexandrian, Byzantine, and Arab from around 2000 BC to 1000 AD I might take some of those classes |
