I regret spending time studying that I could have spent programming. I found my study boring and in the end wasted a few years of my life and quite a bit of money that I would have otherwise saved. I also believe I learned much more in the workplace. And when I want to study a topic that is of interest to me, I rather just buy a book.
I also regret spending around 7 years of my life without really sure which path I would like to take. I lost direction and focus when my parents died unexpectedly. In this period I was very depressed. I had to figure out my own life goals, when my previous goal, making my parents proud, wasn't possible anymore.
At least now I have some clear goals for my life and am generally a very happy person :)

It's tough, but I'm grateful to still have hope, mostly thanks to having a large amount of what could be called non-professional interests. If not for discovering the endless value of, and joy in, non-institutionalized learning, I'd have been a goner a long time ago.
