I sometimes regret not finishing University. I took a year off after being there for 2 to do some other things and figure it all out as I was not happy with what I was doing. I ended up with a good job, making more than I would have with what I was taking in school. I do use some of the stuff I took in school but not most of it.

I also realize that I am very fortunate to have a boss who was willing to take a chance on me and give me the opportunity for advancement after only a couple years. So in no way would I say post-secondary isn't important.

The important thing to find something you enjoy, not just go to university because it is what you are "suppose" to do. Or stick with a major because you're embarrassed to tell your parents you were wrong about what you wanted to do (or for any other reason). Which was a huge concern of mine at 20 years old, but my parents were great about it.
