if you could go back in time, would you change anything about your life?

i probably would have joined the military in some fashion.  learn a job skill or trade to get trained on.  use the benefits afterwards and go to college.  i was one of those unsure kids in high school and kind of wasted away my 20s.  i did get an associates degree and am working in inside sales now, and make decent money for a single guy, which is fine.  but i've always wondered about going into the military and learn a job there.  

Update:

i did enjoy my time in high school though.  made great friends and was involved in marching band, jazz band, and went on a lot of school band trips, including Disney World twice and a cruise to the Bahamas, and performed one the ship.  

Update 2:

my high school grades were aren't also the greatest.  i did graduate.  but i probably would also have taken them more seriously and planned ahead better.

    Wow, your school took you on a cruise?! AND performed there?! AND TO DISNEY WORLD??!! TWICE!?!!! Wow, I envy.

    One thing I would do is go back to the beginning of Freshman year in high school and take classes more seriously. I had no clue how challenging it was to actually go to a decent college. With my grades and funds, I could only afford to go to a community college where clubs, activities, and majors are quite limited.
