Its to hard for me to select a course in college. On my childhood years i definitely like electronics by repairing my remoted control cars, robots etc. thats why i choosed Electronics Engineering. But right now, after 7 years on college i realized that i regret on choosing it. I ask my self why did i take Information Technology degree before which will be in demand as of now. If i will bring back the time again i will took IT course.

I can't say that I regret choosing my degree subject of Geography because I did enjoy most of the course, but I never had any plans to go to college or university when I was young, I just seemed to end up there without a great deal of planning. My degree has not lead me to a fantastically well paid job or into a career that you could associate with geography, however the reason I don't regret studying it is because the subjects and techniques you learn are wider than just the subject matter at hand. You should never regret studying electronics, because its a practical life skill, you'll always have that knowledge to rely upon and fall back on, and you have all the knowledge, and the experiences of studying that subject and being with the people that you were. IT is very popular now because PC's are, but who knows what the future will hold, as things become more automated. There is nothing to stop you studying again, maybe as a vocational degree, or home study. Don't regret what you've done, no form of learning is ever a waste. GOod luck.
