I worked my way through college (this was quite a while ago), and honestly I wish I'd had to option of not working, or at least working only in the summer or only a couple of nights a week. Looking back on it, I really regret that I didn't get more time to be deeply involved with my studies and with other activities on campus (guest lectures, etc).
I also wish I'd had the opportunity to spend more time with my fellow students. Not only for the friendships that might have developed, but for the intellectual development that would have come from discussing our coursework or just the world in general.
I always assumed I have plenty stimulating discussions with knowledgeable people once I entered the workplace, but sadly that has rarely been the case. Maybe I need to get out of Enterprise IT. :-)
