i probably wouldn't have left my first "real" job so quickly. i wasn't happy in my role, so i switched companies and ended up in a different field that ultimately was way more stressful with longer hours and not more pay! i didn't know at 24 that i could have worked with my current bosses to find something else within the company that was a better fit.
either way, now i'm a sahm and work part time in a field related to neither job, so it all worked out...but i could have been happier in my 20s career!
also i would have worn my hair differently at my wedding and pushed them to make more alterations on my dress at my final fitting!

Pick the same major in college? Probably not but maybe but I'd be more open to exploring other majors and maybe skipping college altogether to go to culinary school.
Pick the same career path? No. I learned so much about myself and gained so many valuable skills working as an attorney but ultimately it's not my passion.
Have the same wedding? No. I would go for a destination wedding!
Have the same amount of kids? In my perfect world I would have my two girls absolutely.
Make another life decision different. I would not have purchased a condo while I was single. I wouldn't have bought a 2 door car out of law school. I would have studied abroad. I wouldn't have worked retail or as as bank teller in college -instead I would have spent that time volunteering or trying to get an internship to explore all kinds of different career options

Pick the same major in college?
Maybe. I was a Hispanic Studies major, with a focus in Peninsular Studies. It forced me to take my final 2 years of college in Spanish, and as part of it I got to spend a semester studying in Spain- both of which I loved. I love that I speak a second language fluently. I would have maybe doubled with business, but I ended up owning one and learning a ton that way anyway.Pick the same career path?
Yes! I loved the business I founded. I'm constantly thinking of ideas and have some more things in the works, and basically would have ended up an entrepreneur no matter what. I also SAH and would do that again over for sure.Have the same wedding?
Yes- I loved that day.Have the same amount of kids?
Yes!Make another life decision differently?
I really don't think I would! Everything, even the mistakes, got me here, and I'm happy. -
Pick the same major in college? Yep.
Pick the same career path? I think so.
Have the same wedding? Yes but I'd definitely take more control over some things and fight more for what I wanted than what my mother wanted!
Have the same amount of kids? yes!
Make another life decision differently? I would have gone abroad in college. It's my biggest regret in life. -
I feel like it's almost jinx-y to imply that I wish I had done things differently because I wouldn't be where I am now if I had!
Pick the same major in college? I think so.
Pick the same career path? Yes, I've been really happy with my job for the last 10 years (teaching), though I think I'm starting to get ready for a change of some sort!
Have the same wedding? I was kind of crazy when planning our wedding about keeping down the guest list. I wish I had let up a bit and in particular I have two friends I didn't invite that I still seriously regret not inviting.
Have the same amount of kids? Not done yet!
Make another life decision differently? It was probably not the best idea to get pregnant 3 months after moving into a house that we were completely renovating ourselves but I don't care, I wouldn't have my daughter if we had waited longer! -
A lot of life experiences shaped who I am, and sometimes you need to go through the pain to get to the other side... but in an ideal world, I definitely would've done some things differently!
Pick the same major in college? Nope, I would've majored in Bio/the sciences.
Pick the same career path? Nope, instead of corporate, I would've pursued healthcare, perhaps as a PA, pharmacist, dentist, dietitian, etc.
Have the same wedding? Nope, I would've done a destination wedding or had a courthouse wedding and just went bigger on the honeymoon!
Have the same amount of kids? Yes!!!
Make another life decision differently? I wish I was a better teenager. I wish I could've spent the time I had left with my dad differently. -
Pick the same major in college? No. I would have done something science-y.
Pick the same career path? No. I'd rather be a nurse.
Have the same wedding? Yes.
Have the same amount of kids? Yes.
Make another life decision differently? No. -
Interesting post! I'd choose the same major and career path, even though it's difficult and I question it sometimes. My wedding would be the same except I'd pay for a real cake. Make a different life decision? Well, theoretically I wish I went to a public university bc it would've saved me so much money, but my worldview and beliefs were very enhanced by my particular college experienece, studying abroad, and meeting the people I did, including DH.

Everything the same except I would have married someone different! Haha!
Ok, not that funny but seriously, I would have done Study Abroad in college....but I don't know, it was either that or buy an Apple computer and I'm pretty good with computers because of that early decision. I'm not sure how much learning more Spanish would have impacted my life but the sheer excitement of Study Abroad still draws me to feel remorse....Oh and DH drives me nuts, but I'm thankful I have him as my hubby.

Pick the same major in college? yes but I would go to a different college, no need to go private! I ended up with way more debt and I could have studied the same major at a state school
Pick the same career path? No. Although I am happy and content where I am now I've been with this company for 16 years.... I wish I'd gotten into the government. I feel like for all I've done for this company I am not "taken care" of well enough for being her for 16 yrs
Have the same wedding? yes, I wouldn't change a thing, it was perfect... well maybe I'd hide away some of the food and cake to eat later
Have the same amount of kids? trying for #2...
Make another life decision differently? Started trying for #2 as soon as possible. Dealing with secondary infertility now is not fun
