    Career wise what would you have done differently?
    Anything you didn’t do you regret, or something you did do that you now regret?
    To be honest, I figure a hell of a lot of degrees are overated.
    If I was starting over again, I’d choose a degree from which you would earn big bucks straight out of college..
    Finished up Arts myself, and four years ago I debated whether or not to go the trade/construction root.
    When I look around now, and see the money that skilled trades people are making I think why did I chose the academic route..
    Ah well, My point is people are too hung up on degrees, if I was to give any advice to current leaving crt exam students I’d say don’t be fooled that the degree root is a licence to print money?
    Any opinions folks?

    Well... I'd have gone for CS straight off instead of lasting 3 years in a maths physics degree that I grew to hate. Can't really think of anything else offhand.
