Toby Keith's Big Regret

Just because Toby Keith is a successful country music artist doesn't mean he has no regrets. In an interview with The Boot, Toby said he still regrets not going to college.
"[It was] probably disappointing myself with not having taking advantage of a college education," Toby confesses to The Boot. "I came out of school and had every opportunity in the world to get a higher education. But at the same time, I read a lot and I really worked hard at educating myself. I have a pretty good IQ. I hadn't really failed at life. I wouldn't trade places or change anything."
Toby is quick to point out things haven't always gone well for him. "There have been some tough times. When I came out of high school and worked in the oilfields with my dad, there were three or four years the oil boom was going on, and I was in on the ground floor of a world-wide oil field service company that you could make millions of dollars at it. Getting a jump on it at 18 and having a dad that had already [gone] up the ladder [helped]. He had worked his way up from a roughneck to mid-continent regional manager. I had the world set in front of me. I had all the private tech schools for that operation to go to, and three or four years in -- just as I'm getting through the boot camp part of it and learning the ropes -- the oil industry went away, and it would never come back like it was. That was devastating. All it does is make you appreciate when you do have it good. I went through it, and it makes me work harder."
That hard work has led to chart-topping albums and singles, especially in the case of his latest album 'American Ride.'
