A hiring manager will be able to tell a lot about your personality by learning about your other career interests. If you could do anything over, what would you do, and why? They also want to know if there was a plan you formed when you started out in your career, or if you had less direction and are less career focused.
One's career progression is rarely a straight line and detours naturally occur. Focus your answer on your career goals, as a career minded professional, and on your positive attitude towards your pursuits and the skills you picked up along the way which fostered your success and outlook.

"I certainly do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction completely, I would likely pursue my Degree in Education and become a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers, and they seemed to have very fulfilling careers. I enjoy coaching and leading others so, any tasks in my current career that are related to these skills, are very welcome."
