Just curious to see, are you in school or have you ever gone to school? After high school, I really wasn't taking life as serious as I am now that I am halfway through my 20s, and I really hate myself for it since it feels more impossible every passing day to see myself going back and getting a degree and actually making enough money to be a little more comfortable.

If you havent gone to school, why? If you have, why and what did you study? Or even plan to study if you do go back to school?

Bad idea and a great idea at the same time

Literature degree, no regrets. It's opened up some pretty interesting doors for me.
I'd love to learn a trade as well though, but the older I get the less likely somebody would take me on.

Edit: I don't know how I forgot to mention this but I'm somehow a professor of literature in China at this moment in time. So I suppose I am in school... I didn't even apply for this job. They only told me I'd be doing it once I arrived!

Don't kick yourself. I am coming around on my mid 20s as well but I went to school and got a bachelors in computer science. Now, I am selling cars. But part of that is cause I have 2 car dealerships in my family. There is really good money in the car business and you don't need hardly any education if any at all to be successful. Just takes drive and hard work. I wonder every day if I would be better off in my own field for what I studied though.

I am 26 and in law school. I do not think college is necessary for everyone. It all depends on what you want to do with your life and what you are satisfied with. There is nothing wrong with not going to college.
