Survey identifies majors that recent graduates regret the most — the top one is unsurprising
A survey found that college graduates who earned a degree in liberal arts regretted their major the most of all respondents.
The ZipRecruiter study surveyed 1,500 graduates from the class of 2025 and another 1,500 students set to graduate in the spring.
Overall, about 1 in 5 of all grads said they were regretful of their majors.
The report said that many of the regretful liberal arts majors wished they had focused on scientific or quantitative fields instead.
After the liberal arts, recent grads with political science, international relations, or public policy degrees were the next-highest regretful, with about 46.3% ruing their decisions.
About 39.2% of grads with communications, media studies, or public relations majors said they wish they had chosen another focus.
Overall, about 1 in 5 of all grads said they were regretful of their majors.
A separate report from the National Association of Colleges and Employers listed the bachelor's degrees most in demand from their member firms.
That survey found finance was the top major in demand, followed by mechanical engineering, computer science, and accounting. Also in high demand were business administration and management, electrical engineering, and information sciences/systems.
One of the bright spots for recent grads was for those who sought nursing positions. The ZipRecruiter survey found that almost a third of nursing graduates were able to obtain a job before even graduating.
Nursing majors also had the highest median salary upon graduation, which was $70,000 a year.

No one believes this one-of-one Helen Keller item just sold for thousands of dollars
Many readers are convinced that a piece of Helen Keller memorabilia could not possibly be real.
Keller, noted as being a deaf and blind humanitarian, educator, and writer who wrote 12 books, has been swept up by the latest craze of memorabilia resale.
'What a time to be alive.'
In fact, the genre is nearly unheard of, as it exists as a hybrid of two separate collector's items: trading cards and historical signatures.
That's right, Keller's signature was just auctioned off as a trading card — and it is authentic.
Rookie seasonThe Topps official "Helen Keller Cut Signatures 1/1" card was sold in a live auction on eBay for $3,551. For those thinking the card may be fake or a concoction created by a savvy entrepreneur, Topps went ahead and shared the results on its social media pages, reporting that the card was "just sold" on Thursday.
'What a time to be alive'
The reactions online were less than stellar, as not only did readers not believe it was real, but they couldn't fathom why anyone would pay for such a thing.
"Is it authentic," one reply asked. "Or is it just a joke card that got bid on fairly high?"
"I thought this card was satire. Good lord," another sad reader expressed.
"I had to check to see if this was a parody account," a sports page chimed in to say.
Other onlookers accepted the event had taken place, but couldn't resist pondering what it said about life in 2026.
"'I just spent $3,551 on an autographed Helen Keller rookie card' is a real sentence somebody said earlier today. What a time to be alive," wrote Mike Beauvais, creator of streaming platform Quibi.

Team playerThis isn't the only instance of Topps trading cards using American icons as a product line. Back in 2009, Topps released its American Heritage series that featured the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Frank Sinatra, and Martin Luther King Jr.
At the same time, it included two other iterations of Keller on trading cards. First, she was included under the American Heroes series that also showcased Thomas Edison. She was also included in the Presidential Medal of Freedom series that also featured Bill Cosby and Jackie Robinson.
For those looking to get their hands on graded Keller items, a card with her signature is currently listed for just under $2,200, while another seller is asking $500 or best offer for one of the 2009 Topps cards.
