In the most shocking bit of news you’ll read all day, journalism degrees come in at #1 in a landslide. Makes sense considering how many journalists seem to hate themselves and everyone around them…



Also a surprise is that degrees where you actually make money and contribute to society in a positive way are among the least regrettable choices:



That human resource management degree making the top 10 is a little suspect, however.

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

So, programs that lead to gainful employment are not regrettable and those that feed the imagination are regrettable.

I couldn't imagine being a teacher and having to babysit a bunch of dip shits all day that come from broken homes. Then you have their mom calling you and cussing you out, telling you how lousy of a job you're doing. I'm sure these scenarios were never discussed in their college classes.

Journalism has a lot of issues and a good chunk of it, IMHO, are caused by the mindset imposed that they should “make a difference” rather than “report the news.”

A lot of them tend to be miserable frickers because they are self-important in their views and get pissed when the rest of the population doesn’t follow their lead.

If I could do it over I’d definitely major in criminology. Forensic science reaches into every facet of the human condition. I’m a big picture type of person and this appeals to me greatly.

mostly not surprising.

i think alot of people would be surprised by "biology" or "biological sciences".

probably a lot of people majoring in that trying for med/dental/vet schools but not good enough to get in. without the advanced degree those are worthless.

I have a broadcast journalism degree. My journalism claim to fame is that I taught Patrick Wright how to use a cart machine in the KLSU newsroom.

I don't regret my journalism degree but I never worked in journalism.

The journalism curriculum did benefit me in the business world as I can write a great report when needed(just the facts)

My degree is in English Literature, and while I don't personally regret it due to my own life circumstances, I wouldn't rally anyone to go study the same.

Only reasons I don't regret are [1] I had TOPS and my dad paid what little TOPS hadn't covered [2] I have a good job regardless doing something completely unrelated to English. I certainly would never advise someone take out loans for an English degree.

I am one of 4 people I know that graduated with a Political Science degree from LSU. Not a single one of us uses our degree. The closest would be one of the four of us is an attorney.

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

I started as a journalism major and realized about a month in what a massive mistake it was and switched.

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.
