Trying to get a PhD. I wasn’t a good student and I didn’t choose a good advisor. I spent the better pet of a decade trying to finish and failed. I ended up unemployed and divorced in large part because of that decision, and while my life is OK now, I can’t help but regret that little decision that lead to so much personal pain and suffering.
