Marc: Addressing A Personal Regret

Marc Stewart (RE: Report: Most Idaho high school students skip college): On a personal note, I made a terrible decision 20 years ago. I dropped out of college and started working in journalism. I am working hard to correct that mistake and am currently taking classes at Lewis-Clark State College in Coeur d’Alene. I will get the degree, but I kick myself routinely for not finishing. All Idaho high school students should get a college education. A college degree increases your earning potential and positions yourself for a better life.

Question: Do you ever regret not going to college? Or not finishing college? Or not going on for a master's or doctorate degree?
