Just because you don't "use" your degree doesn't make it worthless. There are a lot of valuable skills one can develop obtaining a humanities degree.

Not this one. It's useless.

Hey!! I take offense to that! Well. Come to think about it I don’t. You may be right. Probably not. But may be. There’s an argument both ways I guess.

What were we talking about again?

I have a poli Sci degree.
I truly do believe it helped me develop skills and knowledge that was really helpful for law school and life.

While I do enjoy the "law" I hate dealing with people. Wish I did something that dealt less with people.

I regret my General Studies degree.

Had to rectify it by finding a niche and going to a top grad school that took a chance on me because of my professional resume. Finished with a 3.7.

I liked to party and hated going to class. Two things that doom most people in college.

If I could do it again, I'd probably join the service at 18 and go back when I was more mature at 22.

It worked out for me but it barely did.

For me, I wanted to be a sports journalist and thought I could end up being on Around the Horn or something or writing a national opinion column. When I realized I’d be covering girls high school volleyball and the like, I bailed.

It’s weird seeing nursing on the least regrettable list considering how much complaining those women do.



for real, teachers made the most regrettable and they complain as much or more.

So yea, I'd say I regret my degree choice.



Dr. Parent is awesome.

I'd say a liberal arts degree is best if you're trying to catch on with a smaller company. The owner sees it and knows you have the ability to learn a broad range of material, and with a smaller business they need people who can wear a lot of hats.

#1Journalism

Journalism as we knew it is officially dead.

Accuracy, verification, corroboration and just plain honesty no longer exist in the field.

Thank you Al Dole and the Internet.

It is a shite list if you don't list gender studies or any racial studies degree.

A good political science program should teach you to think and write with the clarity of an English major and develop research and deductive skills of a science major.

Maybe it's where you went to school or maybe you didn't work hard enough.

Hard to believe psychology majors are that happy with their degree. I guess with today's populous feeling like they all have mental health issues along with blaming their parents, society, etc. for their problems it must be like shooting fish in a barrel.

Medical assistant is a pretty obvious one.

Go like 30k in school debt to make $12/hour.

I'd go for psychiatry, psychology.



Unlike psychiatry, jobs that require a degree in psychology, even masters level, generally are not high paying relatively speaking.

I have a double bachelors, one of them in PoliSci. I also don't use it at all.

I do have a good corporate job though, so I'm fine I guess.

If I could go back in time, I would have gone into IT.

I’m surprised English is so low. It’s a few percentage points away from being majority “no regrets.”
