What are some things you wished you did back in college?

What I'm wondering is, do you regret not joining more clubs or taking certain classes you were curious about taking or just overall spending more time on campus to see what else the campus offered the students? #college #college-life

I am trying to decide if I want to find a fireworks distributor/manufacturer job as a human resources professional, or wether I should start up my own resale stand and work my way up into owning multiple stands and being able to sustain a good life?

Consulting Time Commitment

I have always heard that consultants have to work long hours and don't have a good work life balance. Is this true? Does the firm that you work for have an impact on this? #consulting
