Regrets

The majority of people end up going into something different than they originally studied in school and/or planned for. Accounting will help in virtually any business setting. You can always switch to something related like Finance. The reality is that the cost of college makes it a low return investment for a very large number of people. Learn from you mistakes and move forward. You will find a life that makes you happy.

Awww don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s really hard to pick your degree when you’re still a school student because you’re still finding out your interests. Can you change your degree to something more aligned with what your interested in? If you’re going to be studying (and paying for) a degree the next few years it should be something you’re genuinely interested in and helpful for your future career path. FWIW I started out studying psychology and after a year realised (1)I hated it and (2)I wasn’t even good at it lol. Not sure how it works in Canada but in Australia if you have a good enough GPA you can apply for entry into another degree. I changed to science then med later. No regrets! I do think it’s worth having a bachelors degree as nowadays many employers etc seem to expect it xo

First of all, forgive yourself. Accounting is a great degree to have. What I've come to realize is that our past experiences accumulate over time. You may not realize it now, but I won't be surprised if your accounting degree eventually comes handy in the future. Especially if you plan to start a business.

I got a 4 year degree that I regretted as well. I felt like it just put my life behind by that much time. It's taken about 5 years, but I'm happy I have the degree now because it's opened up so many options for my family. When we first got married, my husband and I both worked full-time and were able to pay off almost all of our debt (except a mortgage), and then when we had the baby I dropped down to part-time. Because of my degree I have many job opportunities available to me, and if circumstances necessitates it (if my husband loses his job or gets hurt) I can go back to work and make as much as my husband makes now.

That said, there are opportunity costs to every decision and I wonder how far ahead I'd be in my family life if I'd foregone college and gotten married and had babies earlier. I think, if it's not going to put you too far behind financially, it would be smart to finish out getting a degree since you've already got time and money invested.
