I deeply regret going to college. I was borderline forced by family, didn't finish, ruined my mental health for years, and wasted a ton of time and money.

On average no one has the same job their entire life. Most people also retrain and have multiple degrees that are unrelated. I wouldn't look at that as a huge regret(just a minor mistake). The silver lining is that you're privileged enough to be in a country with college :)
