What I wish is that I had stuck with music during college and tried to actually do something career-wise in a band. I'm not saying I would have made it big, but I was in bands through high school and college, and at the start of my senior year in college, I had to a chance to get another band going, and my GF said, "No. It's time for you to focus on your degree and let music go."

This is the same GF who later, as my wife, said, "OK, once you finish your Masters degree, it's time for you to quit school. Don't stay to get the Ph. D. You need to get out of school and get a job. You've been in school long enough. It's my turn."

And my ex wonders why I still have some bitterness toward her about this...
