Have you ever chose a path(lifes choice) that you regret?

I always go renegade.

(I regret nothing)

It appears to me that you have not chosen wrongly. Considering you like what you are doing that should be enough.

Code on!

I've been a criminal and a drug addict for the past six years, but it's lead me to taking steps to better myself beyond just doing what isn't wrong. Steps that I would never have taken if I didn't initially make such bad choices. Best way to learn, imo.

Absolutely no regrets.

I regret that I didn't invest in Google when it started, and be a millionaire at this point. Other than that, not really.

Yes I but still haven't regret it LoL , it is living infront of my computer almost 24/7 :D

Like Ace Frehley said: No Regrets!
I do what I like, only should have started with them when I was younger :)

I regret a lot more than I think I could even list off here. :/ Hasn't stopped me though. I just keep trying to make it right again.

Edit: And not so much my career path (although I do have a lot of regrets about my laziness), but sort of some choices I've made over the years about how I interacted with certain people around me.

I spent 10 years secretly pretending to be a dog. One day I openly came out to the community and they shunned me for my dog tendencies. However, I went to my local cult and they convinced me that being a dog was a choice.
Now I'm now happily living the life of a cat after an extentisive cult rehabilitation system. I'm now happy, sucessful and expecting my first batch of kittens with my lovely Queen.

Praise be to Loki!

99% of the things I'm certain I could do better with the knowledge I have now, but I regret nothing. It's all part of the learning process that is called life.

I regret my mindcontrol probe on you not working properly.

I regret everything, a lot of mistakes are made but usually real path is visible when i make wrong turn.

You can be a programmer and still be social. Find friends or some other hobby. In retrospect you may not have always made the best choices but I don't think there is much point regretting it, so long as you seriously considerred your options and chose what you thought was best. And if you were wrong then learn from it.

My three year diploma course which i just graduated from. One year into my studies and i realize that I do not want to work as an aeronautical engineer.

At least 50% of what I've said or done I regret, but hey, at least I can delete this post.

I spent like an hour freaking out last night because I kind of feel like I messed up somewhere along the way.

Mostly because I don't have any friends really. I mean I have a best friend but he is in another province right now. I can't remember the last time I hung out with someone aside from at school. There are so many awesome people who have awesome friends that help them to do great things, and I just feel like I can't accomplish anything that I want to because I don't have other people.

For instance I'm alright at music but the only time I really pushed myself was when I had people to play with. I haven't have anyone to play with in over 3 years now. I'm really passionate about video games, and the game industry but I can't do art at all. Whenever I've been able to work with an artist in my class we do something pretty great, but without an artist I feel like I'm doomed to make something that even if it worked well it would look so bad no one would ever touch it.

One of my favourite things is board games, I have plenty of really good ones. But I've never actually had a regular group to play them with, they just kind of sit in a cabinet.

Most of the time I'm perfectly fine to be on my own and just spend countless hours on my computer. But sometimes I really do feel like I'm missing out, and wonder what I have done to be at this point in my life and be the only one who seems to not have any friends...

Wait, what do you mean programming but you want to socialize? Any job is going to take away from socailizing unless its an awesome job were you work with awesome people, Oh, wait that happens EVERY DAY.

TL;DR? Do what you love, but get wife who wont cheat on you.

I'd say the only thing I regret is loosing last 4 years of my life with that looser I used to be with. Still nothing helped me grow up faster that someone unable to appreciate my efforts...

Depends on your definition of path taken... I've regretted paths NOT taken (which basically means that I chose a second path), so yes.

Well the path can always change with time, it will get longer, but most of the times its not the destination that matters.

Personally, i've done the programmer career, and i'm doing 2 careers at the moment, one as an English professor, and the other as a speaker (radio announcer), i'm also reading some psychology whenever i have free time.

Dont regret the paths you took, learn from them, or modify them on the road, after all our greatest experiences comes from decisions like this.

Do whatever the hell YOU want, fuck everyone else's opinions and morals, if it's what you want.. DO IT

Also programming may seem unsociable, but in any vocation there is always going to be someone to communicate with.

Yep. I don't live in the past, but differently from most people I do regret some things, and I would totally change them if I could... hat's why I stay focused on the present and try not to repeat the same mistakes.

And look, you're still young, you may have choose programming but that isn't a definitive choice. You have to try and avaliate if you're just insecure or if you really miss a bigger social aspect on your job. If you do like programming, though, I don't think you would be unhappy in case you decided to stay with it.

The only thing i regret in my life is not being aggressive enough, i just elude the conflicts and when i can't i just break, fall in depression etc...

Also the people mean too much for me even if they are strangers, i always try to make the other people happy even if it's going against my wishes and sometimes people take advantage of that. (but i would never do something that breaks my morale system)

I regret that i got a second dog with my ex girlfriend before i broke up with her.
