The CantmIre Post

A new analysis from the Washington Post has found that nearly 40% of college graduates regret their major. The study, which surveyed over 1,000 Americans from across the country, found that New Yorkers and Philadelphians had the most mixed feelings about their choice of major.

For many college students, picking a major is a daunting task. There are so many options and it can be hard to know what you want to do with your life. The pressure to pick the right major can be overwhelming.

The Washington Post’s analysis found that, of those who regretted their major, the most common reasons were that they didn’t like the subject matter or they picked a major because they thought it would lead to a good job.

The study also found that people who majored in business or engineering were less likely to regret their decision than those who majored in liberal arts or humanities.

While the analysis found that nearly 40% of college graduates regretted their major, it’s important to remember that this doesn’t mean that they regret going to college altogether. In fact, most people said they were glad they got a degree and would do it again.

Some people expressed regrets about not picking a different major, while others said they wished they had gone to a different school altogether. But overall, the majority of respondents said they were happy with their decision to get a college education.
