/biz/ - Business & Finance

I wish I had gone to an elite university when I had the grades to do so. I have never been surrounded by nerds. I have never done anything prestigious.

I wish I had done a maths or physics degree instead of my shitty boring mechanical engineering degree. I was doing job training when others were learning the secrets of the universe.

I wish I had passed any of those job interviews I had during university for all those banking jobs. I am ugly and had shit social skills back then (still bad now but back then I was worse).

I wish I had worked harder in my youth. I should've taken on a part time job at university for more money and just to learn hard work. I should've worked harder at my degree even though the degree was boring. I would've benefited from putting effort in to something hard and technical even though I never wanted to go in to mechanical engineering. I wish I had worked more hours after I graduated, even though I only had shitty retail jobs at the time.

I wish I hadn't felt so sad and like a loser when I was younger, either in university or afterwards. The idea of thinking of myself as a loser when I was only 24 sounds hilarious now. No male aged 24 can be a loser.

I wish I had started to care about personal finance before the age of 28. I didn't give a shit about this before then.

I wish I had spent much, much, much, much more of my free time working on productive stuff or learning stuff. I waste 98% of my free time.
