This survey of the most regretted college majors will come as no surprise to most of our readers, and I’m tempted to make the suggestion that student loan forgiveness should be granted in inverse proportion to this ranking. That is, if you majored in journalism, you’d be eligible for no more than 13 percent of your loan being forgiven. This would provide a strong incentive not to major in sociology, etc.
It will be interesting to see trend survey data the next few years about the number of people who regret attending college at all. I suspect these numbers will be on the rise soon, if they aren’t already.
