I didn't go to college straight out of high school, and I always tell people I don't regret that all, but the one thing I would do differently if I knew then what I know now is to take CLEPs. Like, I don't remember a whit of algebra now and will have to study it all over again, whereas I could have taken a CLEP right after finishing high school algebra and probably passed it just fine. It won't hurt to have those credits.
I agree! For me, getting back into math isn't as hard, but I don't like having to redo history and humanities.
