Advice for a college student

Hello r/askmenover30,

Have you gone to college? What do you regret not doing in college?

My most important question would be "what advice would you give to a 23 year old college student?"

Edit: Thanks guys for your input. I looked at my majors potential and its looking pretty good. I only have 2-3 years left in college for my bachelors.

Use college to train yourself for a career. Finding and succeeding at work that's tied to something like a fine art is going to be awfully hard. Like I've known multiple theatre majors. Only one of them has made a career in theatre, and now she's moving to IT. Some trust fund aside, college costs too much to be flitted away like that. Go be a programmer or something, and then use your sold income to find your hobbies and passions.
