Holy shit, son. You are 23. I was _still_ doing "stupid shit" when I was 23 and most people are. The fact that you're in Uni now and you realize the value of it sets you in front of probably 90 percent of the other people there. People shouldn't go to college until they're at least like 25 in my honest opinion. College is wasted on the young. Anyway, you're OK there. Just keep yourself in a position where you 1) Feel OK about what you're doing (and check with yourself every few months to affirm that) 2) Are learning the most you can, even if you have to make less money. That's all you can control, anyways: The rest is an illusion people create to make you feel bad about yourself so they can have more influence.
