Topic | What is your most regretted purchase in your life? |
Zeus 11/18/17 5:08:39 PM #41: | Well, I've bought a lot of stuff which I've never even taken out of the box so... I guess a lot of that ranks. Plus I bought a lot of stuff at the wrong time so I missed out on a discount, which always annoys me. Granted, I'm often more likely to regret *not* buying something, since I either missed a great deal or something by procrastinating. But, in general, I own a lot of stuff and maybe half of it I wouldn't have missed if I didn't purchase it. RedPixel posted... I didn't have a choice, really, but I regret all of the thousands of dollars I had to throw down the shitter for Gen Ed classes so I could tell employers I had a BS degree in computer science. Gen eds really are the worst, but that's not really an "education as an industry" issue since publicly-funded non-profit state schools have it as do schools overseas. Broadly speaking, gen eds fall into the traditional notion of a well-rounded education whereas you were more specifically looking for a trade-school type education where the focus is far more narrow. In general, if I were to re-do college, I probably would have triple-majored. I had a really shitty guidance counselor whose advice held me back. As a result, I missed out on a lot of opportunities (including taking classes which got discontinued) --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard! |
