My regret. I left a job as manager in Moscow (for a Canadian company) at 27 to go to lawschool because I thought I needed a real education (I only had a Masters in history). First of all I regret that I left the job - I should have stayed at least another year - I lived in a hotel across the hallway from my office, I spent all my free time going to theater, dating beautiful women (I had an 18 year-old girlfriend who was on the Russian junior biathlon team), and just in general had a fantastic life.
Second, I regret that I went to law school instead of MBA - I have have found law to be a fairly boring, tedious job. Luckily, it pays reasonably well, so I just look at it like the means to the things I really enjoy in life.
