What's something that you thought you wanted at 17/18 that you realize now is a good thing you didn't get?

When I was 18, I graduated high school wanting to be a lawyer. I didn't get to go to college immediately though. When I turned 20, I started to get interested in nursing and now at 23 I realize that I am much more interested in nursing than I ever was with law. I'm so glad I didn't go straight into college because if I had, I'd currently have a law degree that I don't even want. Plus, I can get my CNA through votec for 400 dollars, go to work where my sister works, and after 2 years the company pays for your schooling for LPN or RN.
