Career wise, degree wise, industry wise. What would you do? You may decide to do what you love or something that would ensure you guaranteed employment. Also, I'd be curious to know what field you think is a can't miss, or what you would recommend to your kid's or grandkid's?
One will always do the best in the field of ones own talent. Where would you like to live and what would you like to do. "What color is your parachute?" Good book for you to read.
I would have taken an engineering direction, not necessarily to become an engineer, but within the field, but less than full engineer, like technologist or something

I would go into occupational therapy. You cannot go wrong with the medical field.
From the brain: I would stay in school while Daddy's paying for it. Probably become an attorney.
From the heart: I wouldn't change a thing. I'd do it all over again.
Personally I love exactly where I am at and what I am doing so I wouldn't change a thing. Any past mistakes where all learning experiences and made me the person I am today and I like who I am.
As far as pointing young people in the right direction I would suggest the medical field but not your own business(insurances are too high in the medical profession). I would also tell kids to get any kind of government job.
I would have become a college teacher (not Professor) at the Community College level and a contract professional trainer. It took me 20 years of bad choices before I found my niche.
The key is to have a trade and be able to do things that are marketable that few others can. I tell every young person I meet that there are three keys to success in the world of work.
They choose a career that fits their talents (not something just for the money or job market)
They really develop their interpersonal and office politics skills
They learn direct career related skills, knowledge and talents that very few of us have.
