See, I went the other way. I screwed away Engineering (I was interested in Comp Eng) and ended up in Honours Economics. I enjoyed Economics a lot, but now I'm a DBA and I seem to have found myself where I was aiming in the first place (It only took an extra 10+ years).

I still wish I knew what was going through my head at 19-21 (actually, I do know).

It is kind of hard to regret the things I did because I know I learned a LOT with the way things turned out, and nothing was detrimental in the long run (other than my student loans).

But I do always wonder about The Road Not Taken
