You have to be self-aware enough to regret things for it to show up on the list.

No theater/drama majors?


My first week on campus, the geology professor was asking how many “food service majors” were in the class.

Had to be hard when the guy over freshman “rocks for jocks” was dunking on them.

Thats the kicker most who make fun of these degrees dont get. There are jobs now , decent paying ones too for these worthless majors in just about every company.

they still offer a Bachelor of General Studies degree?

It’s called interdisciplinary studies now. You have to complete 120 hours and complete 3 minors

How did Gender Studies not make the cut?


Because people who majored in something like that do not have enough of a sense of personal responsibility to feel regret at any of their choices.

In their minds it's not their fault for choosing that major, its society's fault for not valuing it.

B.A. in Journalism checking in.

Unlike my loser colleagues, I am quite pleased with how things turned out.

I do, however, regret what the profession of journalism has become. It's no longer about seeking truth. It's about pushing an agenda.

That is NOT the journalism I was taught.

I'd bet all of these come with massive student loans that can't be paid back due to they don't make jack shite for money. I'll allow it

No doubt they regret them all.

Does "University College" still exist at LSU, and if so, do they still offer a Bachelor of General Studies degree?


The original “I drink and I know things” degree.

As a medical doctor with over 200k in student loan debt, I regret going to college at all and not learning a trade.
