College was my biggest mistake (2012)
Agreed. I worked all four years doing odd jobs and some research assistantships. Working 20 hours a week while taking 18-21 semester units. End result was zero debt and adept time management skills.

Is that a lot? Not trying to be funny. I just don't know.

it's generally not recommended to take more than 15 or 16 semester units of classes
it feels like the difference between working a job for 35 hours a week and 50 hours a week.

That depends on your major. As an engineering major, 14 hours a week already feels like a 50 hour a week job.
