I’d like to see a full list and know how they dealt with what didn’t appear. There are a boatload of potential majors that aren’t listed, and I find it hard to believe that they all fell between 52% would not do them again and 58% would.

Some are obscure enough that if you are only sampling 1500 people, sample size is going to pose a problem. If there are usually 3-5 history majors in a group of 1500, the statistical noise is going to be unbearable. (I majored in Economics, which isn’t listed, though it might be lumped in either with Finance or Market management/Research, which about offset eachother-—if I had to do it all over again, I might do that, or decide to screw up my life in a different way. Actually, it has been useful in many ways).

I've never met an Econ major who regretted a moment of it, especially the actuaries, who make crazy money for what they do.
