According to a ZipRecruiter study, college graduates with degrees in these majors have regrets. Plus, here's the two majors most wish they'd studied instead.

This month, ZipRecruiter released data from a survey of more than 1,500 college graduates who were looking for a job. The data revealed that 44% of the job seekers with college degrees regretted their field of study.

Here’s the ten most-regretted college majors, and the percentage of graduates with that major who said they have regrets.

  1. Journalism – 87%
  2. Sociology – 72%
  3. Liberal arts/general studies – 72%
  4. Communications – 64%
  5. Education – 61%

  9. Biology – 52%
  10. English language + literature – 52%

Of the graduates who regretted their major, most said that, if they could go back, they would now choose computer science or business administration instead, according to ZipRecruiter.
