How has it been since graduating college what you expected ? Either for the better or worse?

The year I graduated from college, I changed jobs to something that was experimental at the time yet in my field of education and was very exciting initially. I made a lot of friends there, but the start-up only lasted a couple of years before it folded and then I branched out and started my own company.
Upon graduation I expected to work in that field the rest of my life, but I'm glad I didn't choose that path. I like the freedom and flexibility that self-employment provides. And, I was just telling a friend the other day that I only use about 5% of my "college learned skills" in my work-a-day world. I was initially surprised by that fact.

@Adwoa It is doing well. Basically, I sell (directly to the end user) everything I touch and as I've aged... I now get to pick and choose the projects/orders I want to work on.
I've also cut the number of hours I work in half (hence the added freedom and flexibility of 3-4 hour days). I'm supposed to be retired, but I'm a workaholic by nature so it's hard to adjust sometimes.
