I Wish I'd Known
Ever wonder what people with college degrees wish they’d known (or done differently) while they were in school? Well, we compiled a few examples. Take a look, and then consider this your first college assignment–learn from your predecessors!



"I wish I’d learned more about the job market and how to really get ready to start working in my field, beyond just taking classes."

"I should have signed up for a co-op placement. Several of my friends did and it really paid off for them."

"I wish I’d gone to the graduation ceremony. I got my degree but didn’t walk across that stage at the end."

"I wish I’d known earlier that after transferring to [university], I could have transferred some credit back and graduated with my associate degree. Then I’d have two college degrees!"

"I should have taken my work-study position more seriously. I sure could have used a good recommendation later when I started applying for a full-time job."

"I wish I’d gone through career counseling or something and thought more carefully about what I really wanted to do. I have a degree now, and a good job, but I’m still not sure I’m in the right place."
