going to an Ivy League university under a government scholarship, which I then regretted so badly I had to break my 6 year required work contract and pay back ~400k including interest. probably set my life back at least 10 years. i shouldve tried harder to evaluate my options but at 16 i just went with what everyone said was a good enough path.
