Retail is so tough, I worked in the industry for only 4 years but the hours were terrible (although the customers were probably worse...)

The only thing (so far) that I wish I could have changed was taking more time off after I graduated college before I started my first job! It would have been nice to just enjoy my accomplishments for a little while but instead I jumped into a new job 2 weeks after I graduated

I feel the same way. I also immediately jumped into a 8-5 and wish I would've taken some more time to travel!
