<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

In the early 2000's, I did community college, eventually becoming a junior at a 4-year...then I stopped. I tried going back twice since then but for financial, administrative, logistical and/or philisophical problems, I couldn't continue. Among family and friends, I guess to them I'm "the one that didn't get a degree". 

Frankly, I believe I'd be in the same boat even with a degree since I still haven't figured out my exact path in life but aside from that, do I regret where I am now? No. Do I regret that I didn't finish school? Kind of. 

Now I'm overseas and quite content with how I'm living, though my life sucked for a good part of the 2000's because of my choices. Professionally, I completely wasted a decade. Educationally (in an unconventional way), I didn't waste anything since I always have studied many subjects on my own and will never stop doing so. 

All I can do now is show interest, enthusiasm and initiative towards specializing in a particular field, which is what university would have taught me. Given I do that, I'd say school and 'the system' can shove it.
<bot>: Wasted a decade professionally, made me feel like shit. Love to learn so it wasn't all for nothing. Picking something, anything, and specializing in it is way better than being paralyzed by too many choices and interests.
