What two things you regret not doing when you were younger?
Me: Not learning a craft over pursuing a university degree, and not buying Bitcoin when I heard about it at $2.

Mmm maybe not finishing to a proficiency level all the languages and areas I started. For example I studied Chinese, German, Italian and Greek just to a basic level I don't use anymore. Same with a first programming course I took. I finished the most useless of them all lol, my degree in arts. To this day I have no idea what was I think chosing that career.
I will come back to reply to your response, I have to digest it first.🤔
Then there had to be something that made you want a degree in arts.
If you were one of us, as in, a Nigerian, I would have said, it was probably because your peer were all in the university and you wanted to feel among.
But judging by the discussion we had days ago, I believe you don't care about what anyone thinks of you so I am also curious, what made you take the course?
I think it is because I have never felt a strong passion for anything, I never wanted a specific career bad enough, and I had something good that is also a problem, I had grades of 19.85/20 which allows me to enter any career I wanted, and I was at least decent at everything I tried.
It's a problem because I with no strong passion and not a clue of what I was particularly good at, or limit by notes, I chose career based on a hobby I had just picked up the year I had to choose career.
I don't even draw anymore, it was just a hobby and should have stayed that way.
I had 0 guidance when choosing career
Currently I'm working towards changing career towards a more digital one. I don't know exactly what it looks like but I'm tasting different things to see on which one I'm better and I also like
Shit, I have no regrets. Reading a lot set me up way further than my peers. I am always taking the biggest risks.

Yes, like you, reading a lot set me further than my peers in terms of knowledge and public representation. But, economically, many who never visited the four walls of a higher learning institutions are well off.
