What would you do differently if you could do it again?

If you had it to do over,related to you your career or education,would you do anything differently? I'm planning on majoring in chemical engineering but I'm just not completely sure yet, and I have a lot of other things I want to do but I just can't choose.

    Choosing your career path is very difficult for most people and you have to make the decision with limited information so it is not unusual to not be completely sure. If you have done some research and from what you found, your experiences and subjects studied to date suggest you will enjoy being a chemical engineer more than the other options you have, then go for it! 
    Before choosing my degree I was confused if I should choose speech therapy or electronic engineering. I also really enjoyed baking and thought about becoming a pastry chef. I chose engineering and don’t regret it. I still bake cakes and do cake decorating regularly but I like that it is just a hobby for me. I love being an engineer and enjoy my job.
