I suppose my biggest gripe and fear with going back is that the clock is ticking. I'm 24 and another degree will put me at 28 for my first entry level job (likely 30 if I do engineering).
I welcome the CP collective to share their own thoughts and experiences on this.

Welcome to the club!
If you can go back now, do it. Also keep in mind you may just have a little bit of angst over graduating. Give it some time and you might realize you did make a good degree choice.
I really can't because I'd have no way of making my mortgage payments every month if I only worked p/t again.
I'd love to go back but now just isn't the time. That being said I only graduated 1 year ago. It isn't like there is a strict timeline when getting jobs in your field expires, I just don't know if there are any jobs available that I'd even want in my field.
