Chances are that many started in the Least-regretted, couldn't hack it, and ended up in the Most-regretted college majors.

3 decades ago one our sons was graduated from a good state college with an engineering degree.

The country was going through rough economic times, and the company he had worked summers and weekends went bankrupt just before his graduation.

So we made out a new resume, bought him a suit/tie for inter
viewing. 2 weeks later he had an even better job offer than the one from the failed company.

One of our church ladies a teacher asked him, how he got a job when other college grads couldn’t get an interview.

He told her, he had a real degree in engineering not an IUD, Instant Unemployment Degree. She is still mad about his reality label IUD, Instant Unemployment Degree.

Lern2Code. Some might not be happy with it, but you can dry your tears with paper money. Lots of it.

Of graduates who regretted their major, most said that, if they could go back, they would now choose computer science or business administration instead.

But they picked the majors they did because they didn't like or couldn't do math.

So this wishful thinking looks like wishful thinking on their part.

Journalism, sociology, communications and education all topped the list of most-regretted college majors...

All major's encouraged by WOKE culture...

Regretted BAs are why there is Law School and Business Schools.

One of my favorite classes college was a course called Daily Life in Ancient Rome. It was one of those courses other warn you about not taking. Syllabus included 12 different text books including Plutarch. After telling students the Saturnalus was one ofcthe first pornographic book in Western Civilization most of the class read it. Had great fun with the course. As one of the projects the professor made me editor of a newspaper using events from the time period

Regardless of the major, one needs at least a minor in Finance and a minor in Abnormal Psychology in order to navigate the world we live in.

Ignore them at your peril.

Of course you need Reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic and understanding up-to-date software to Read, 'rite, and perform calculations.

The joke always goes like this:

I tried pre-med and it was too hard

So I tried engineering and it was too hard

So I tried accounting and it was too hard

So I tried history studies and it was too hard

So I tried general studies and it was too hard

So I tried education and finally got a BS.

Me = Geology and Pharmacy

A lot of Chem, Math, Physics, bio sciences etc. is what you studied. All subjects anyone with average intelligence can master but it is a lot of studying. You are rewarded with a high paying job.

I completed my Masters in Cyber Security at the end of October. Future is looking bright and no regrets.

I see no Russian-language majors. That was the big trend when I was in college.

Also Child Study. Also Art.

Well it’s certainly not gender studies or diversity majors, these people are getting hired like crazy.
