Worth noting.
Previously we discussed the college courses where you’re likely to get rich and the ones where you’re not.
This new research refers to a similar subject, discussing the university courses that people regret the most and we are genuinely surprised by number one.
A company entitled Emolument asked 1,800 graduates of UK-based universities if their degrees were ‘worth it’ and here’s what they had to say.
Psychology is the course that people wish they hadn’t started in the first place with 67 percent saying they regretted it.
Yikes.
In second place, there are two courses with 47 percent of students saying History, Geography and Politics and Fine Art/Design weren’t ‘worth it’.
In comparison then, the courses that have resounding positive reviews include science and maths based degrees.
87 percent of Chemistry and Natural Sciences, 81 percent of Computer Sciences and 80 percent of those who studied Maths and Statistics said that they were happy with the courses.
The people who studied those courses believe that the knowledge they gained is useful to them in their everyday jobs and with arts-based degrees, the skills picked up aren’t as ‘transferable’.
