How old are you mate? Do it if you can, i jacked in a full time job, ok you got to be careful with money and wont be able to afford a house for a long time but still theres more to life.....
I regret not going straight to uni, but then if i did maybe i would'nt have appericated as much if i did
But like said its all down to personal preference, some people like doing other stuff etc. So you just need a long think. YOu wont be able to get into uni for a year anyway... so a long time to think it over

I wouldnt of become a mechanic. Ive done it since i left school and im sick of it now. There is no money to be made. I carnt go back to collage cause its gonna cost me about 250 quid to do a course. And i the other thing i would of changed is to of bought a cossie years ago. Ive got one now and i think ive got the cossie bug. What a nice feeling.

Yep a few.
I would have studied more in 5th and 6th year so i got more/better highers.
Not fucked up at college,
not dated two of my ex's as they were/ one still is a total head ache,
Been more easy going at school, and made more mates. I love the ones ive got but just think that i missed out a lot due to the circle ive kept.
Finally have the balls to write an e-mail that could change my whole life for the better and open the world to me, but i cant word it/im a big shitebag and dont want it thrown back at me
but ive done loads of things that i wouldnt change as they have made me who i am.

I know its fuck all mate but when you have a morgage and bills to pay and a cossie 2 run and a wedding next year 2 pay for. 250 quid comes in handy for other things. Plus the fact if i was on the dole and if i was of a ethnic background i would be able to get a course for nothing. But since im working and earning money i carnt get a course for free.

If there was one thing I could do differently in my life it would have been to go to college after my GCSE's and complete an engineering specific course (IIRC it was HNC's then onto HND's then a degree back then) rather than the non specific A-Levels (Maths, Physics and Design Tech) I actually did....
I feel I wasn't guided in the correct direction by my school, they knew all I wanted to do in life was work within R&D in the motor industry (engine design) and led me to believe A Levels would be fine, so I stayed there...
I lost interest in the courses I was doing (Maths PURE and Physics dont mix well IMO) and as a result didnt acheive the results I should have, didnt get accepted to the one uni I really wanted to go to (Loughborough) and consiquently turned down the places I was actually offered at a couple of other university's (for a degree in automotive engineering), as I didnt feel completely ready for it :-( (getting on for 10 years ago now!)
Sounds a little sad, but as happy as I am doing what I am doing now I feel I missed my vocation so to speak...
One day I will study for another A level I think and perhaps some kind of degree part time just to prove to myself I could have completed one

just finding my feet
theres alot i would change deffo
but tbh my life is perfect the way it is,,,,,, could be ALOT fucking worse and ive got no debt, no money worries and get to do most of what i wish i could do
infact i should think harder and be a little more carefull with cash ect as i would be doing even better
but at the min my child, the missus and me dont want for anything we need and get loads of shite we dont need,,,,, so if i was to change things when i was fucking about at school i may be like my mates who are in debt and aint got the free cash i got and in jobs they dont actually like
i NEED to stop being lazy though,,,, buts its just too much like hard work

No.
The fuck ups and mistakes I have made have taught me not to do them again,
The shit experiances I have had have made me stronger in a person.
Life is 1 big learning curve, and you will never know it all till your gone,
Learn it, Live it, One life, One Love

when i moved down to somerset i started college doing aerospace engineering at college, did that for three years then fucked up getting into uni or onto another course so ended up moving round in fairly shit jobs for a couple of years, now ive tried to make a bit of a break and go self employed doing cermic tiling, which isnt working out as well as id hoped. gonna stick at it though.
at the end of the day, everything thats happened to me and the things ive done have sent me down a certain course through life, and im hoping in another 5 years ill be able to look back and the choices i make NOW will have worked out, and be happy knowing that i wouldnt be there if it wernt for the past 5 years...if you get me!
never heard that quote by colin, but its dead true! i try to make the most of life knowing that it wont be long before im 6foot under!

I regret quite a few things
Being a absolute biatch of a teenager to my mum and step dad - even now my step dad wont talk to me, i was that bad.
I wish i told my grandma i loved her and hugged her - she died few years ago RIP (If any family members try and hug me i push away for some reason :s and i cant tell them i love them - fcuked up i know)
I wish i never wasted so many months feeling down and depressed but hey im gonna make up for the lost time

life is like those odd jobs on cars, its a long frustrating learning process that makes you very good at something you will never have to do again

The only thing I regretted was not sticking with further education when I was 16/17 and getting a job. Iv now quit my job and restarted at college doing motorsport and I plan to stay there for the next 4/5 years to get a degree. Everything else im reasonably happy with.

i would have studied a little harder at my first uni, and completed my 2 years earlier than i did (had to transfer after fucked up the second year), made more of effort to get into engineering early, rather than do van driving for 2 years.
would have at least 6 years engineering experience, more money and maybe a place by now
dont get me wrong, i'm on the right track now, just a little later than most
