school vs work

Isn't it always true that you want the things that you can't have or you think something is better then it really is? I'm in a very new stage of life this month and its causing lots of questions of which is "better" both school and work have pros and cons of which I'd like to examin.
School-Pros
Get to spend all day learning things
Everyday is challenging (sometimes to challenging)
Really if you just didn't want to go who is going to stop you?
You get to run around doing different things and decide when you want to get your stuff done

Work-Pros
Once you leave for the day that is it- it doesn't really "follow" you home
You make money and can use that money for lots of things
Your days are fairly regular and standard- not to many suprises
You know what to expect when you head into the office  (most days)
You know when you have work and when you don't- planning your life around its pretty easy

Work Cons
You always have to show up- no skipping
the work can be dry and tedious (depending on the job)
some offices are like a little "high school"--gosssip, rumors, etc

School Cons
Homework and tests (they follow you 24/7)
Its expensive and you aren't making  money while you do it
Its stressful

Just somethings I need to remember to keep prospective as I'm in my transition year (sort of).
Anyone have anything to add to the list?

No regrets (if I can help it)

When I look back at my life I want to say that I do not have any regret for things I should/should not have done. However, I have plenty from elementary school to now , I regret not taking opportunity or missing out on things because maybe I was scared.
One major thing that I regret is that I didn't truly listen to myself when I decided what I wanted to do in "life after college" I listened to my parents tell me you can't do this you can't do that and ruled out things that I knew I loved.
So now I'm taking myself back, back to school to get another degree to change where I'm going in my life. I'm going back to school to get another bachelor's degree in Spanish...and boy am I nervous about it. I'm in such a different place in my life when I was when I went off to college many moons ago but I've learned so much. (It seems) Like it has been such a long time since I've done the "school thing" that I'm worried about how I'll do. I could use all your kind words and thoughts as I embark on a big exciting life changing adventure!
