"Again, people shouldn’t make decisions based on past investments."

This works for poker, but doesn't really scale to things like a college education. I've invested two years into a B.S. in CS, took off a year, and now I'm back at it. And yes, the decision to go back is based on my past investment.

I suppose I just don't understand parts of this article. What's the point on giving advice if you just say "Always make the best decisions". Be perfect and then you'll.....be perfect?

The article mentioned that your past decisions got you to the point you are today. It's about to you make decisions on where you go in the future. There's no such thing as perfection, but if you make the best decision, there's nothing really else you can do. Good luck with school again.
