I honestly don't know any unless you mean trade??

Only thing I ever heard was either college or trade, so my bad for not knowing.

What are some jobs you had in mind??

Most jobs don't require a 4 year degree

• I would READ so much on my free time. I would read while waiting for class to start. I would read on the train. I would read on the line at gov't offices.
  
  
• I wouldn't lie to any woman ever again. I wouldn't do all of that James Bond esponiage shyt lying about not having a girlfriend or wanting a relationship and all of that. There are enough women who are mature and respectable enough to be down for safe, consensual sex which makes lying for p*ssy some high key creep shyt.
  
  
• I would throw myself into boxing training.
  
  
• I would SLEEP 7 hours on most days. When you're young, you don't tend to feel the effects of sleep deprivation as much as you do when you are older. - Nothing healthier than a good night's sleep.
  
  
• I would try way more drugs in safe, supervised environments. Not talking about a trap house experience. I'm talking about finding friends who would be cool with being my guardian while experiencing a psychedelic trip - taping it as well so I know the person didn't do some funny shyt to me and to have a record.
  
  
• Record way more co-agreed upon sex tapes. Lost the ones I did make(Scary now that I think about it.) and I really wish I could admire those shyts again. Ha.
  
  
• Be way more respectful and loving towards the next black man. Wouldn't waste my time trying to play the game of "fukk the next nikka's girl" just to say I did it. shyt is a waste...except to two jaws in particular...not because their nikka deserved it...but because I low key deserved to pipe those two lol.
  
  
• There were three women that I performed terrible with - came quick, technicalities. I would go back and give the dikk they deserved. 1) Back in college, she was so fukking bad, black suburban jawn, sung opera. Beautiful smooth dark skin. Feeling me heavy. Went so far as to pay for this nice hotel room. Went, made my fukk playlist(My corny ass loved to fukk to music and fukking to the beat and shyt, HA). Yo...head was nice and the p*ssy was good...a nikka came mad quick. She said it's cool, "As long as you give me that same dikk all night". Would you believe I laid down on her thigh and slept the whole fukking night until the next day's check out! That was some selfish ass shyt. 2) A jawn that was such a good person, had issues for years with the father of her son. We were great friends. Always had that sexual attraction which came to a head. Finally, her son was out of the house on vacation and her bf/father of the son was away as well. Came over, tried to fukk but something about the whole situation took me away from the immersion. I still don't know what it was. But my dikk could not stay hard for shyt! 3) A beautiful...BEAUTIFUL petite jawn who was one of the coolest people I knew. Always had a crush on me back in college. Fast forward to a year after law school. We talked, her boyfriend was on some heartbreak shyt and she talked to me about it. Hinted that she missed having dikk. I obliged. Drove out to Starret City... We were in my car, in the back, and she was giving me high lottery pick level head. Brought out the condom...my dikk wouldn't stay hard. Went back and forth from head to condom until she was like fukk it... Went in raw...p*ssy was immaculate... a nikka came quick. ALL THREE of these women deserved top tier dikk...I flopped and I think about it from time to time because I hate the idea that someone out there had a bad sexual experience with me. fukk....
  
• DO AS MUCH SELF DONE MECHANICAL REPAIR on my 1998 Camry. I wish I would have become comfortable and knowledgeable about car repair in my 20s instead of my 30s. I do brake pads all the time. I just replaced my serpentine belt and tensioner pulley in my '14 Accord. shyt, it feels so fukking fulfilling.
  
  
• I would do even more school but without the fear of getting bad grades...just to be in school. I fukking love school, everything from environment to learning to the women you meet in and outside of class.

There are really only a handful of careers where a Bach degree or higher is a must. Physician, pharmacist, engineer, educator, lawyer, to name a few. If you're not going into one of such professions, you're far better of pursuing relevant certifications and experience instead of a bachelor's degree.

I would have liked to get into industrial maintenance, or something similar

 

[mortuus est]

none of this shyt really matters tbh, we all gonna die

 

[Rozay Oro]

Get out of here then pessimistic ass

 

[Balla]

Yeah, even with certs all I know about really is the A+ and other tech certs that can give you decent paper.

I can't think of any certs that can get you career bread besides those and maybe personal trainer, but that's still sales tho.

I wish I knew this in my teens and did school on the side.

Focusing only on college was a bad choice, but I didn't know about all these certs until a little before I was on this site.

[Fresh]

be MUCH MORE QUIET, less open about myself in general, less serious relationships and more random fukkin

 

[eufemism]

I'm 6 months into being 23 and i already wish i had done things differently


Gotten the A+ earlier. I've been saying I'm gonna get it since i was 20. But since i dropped out of college my confidence is shyt. I tell myself i won't study becuase I'll fail anyway


My things i want to achieve

- get the A+ and get a job that pays more than 15 an hour

- move out my parents house

-Do boxing

-Go out a lot more

- make more friends

- travel a lot

- start my own business

 

[Payday23]

Invest the $ I had into btc

 

[PaperEnterprise]

Save money by living with roommates or your parents. Lets say from 22 to 29 you made 40k to 50k a year after school. If you only spent under 10k each year you could save 20k a year after taxes times that by 7 years and you have 140k by the time you 30.

Put that money into a retirement account and you never have to worry about what you do with your money going forward and no stress. 140k by the time you 50 would be in the millions.

which retirement account you speaking about? Ill do that today. Turn my 200k to a million.

 

[mannyrs13]

Not waste money on bullshyt and focus on me instead of just hanging with friends.

 

[iBrowse]

Be more proactive with getting women
Go straight through with grad school instead of taking a great salary after my undergrad degree
Not be mean to @Kant and youknowwho
Party more often

This shyt haunts me to this day. I hate giving out bad/quick D. I feel like no matter how many good D you give out to chicks, just having one bad D story to your name sinks your whole ship.

But alas, it happens to everyone.
