"Don't go to college, go to a trade school"

Here is the actual government study. Notice there is no mention of "regret."

"Forty-eight percent of
those who studied the humanities and arts, and 46 percent of those who studied social and
behavioral sciences, said they would choose a different field. In comparison, a lower share
(24 percent) of those who studied engineering said they would have chosen a different field"

Look Back on Education Decisions

Completing more education was the most common change that those with less education would
have made if they were able to make a change. Sixty-seven percent of those without a college
degree and 61 percent of those with an associate degree said they would like to have completed
more education
(figure 36). For those with a bachelor’s degree or more, choosing a different field
of study (37 percent) was the most common change they would make to their education. Few
people of any education level said they would have completed less education if they could make
their decisions again.

Conclusion: 48% in humanities would study something else, but are glad they went to college.

Compare that to 67% who wish they had more education.
 
Vo-tech is the third highest regretful "degree", only a couple points behind humanities and social sciences.

Random numbers. A pointless thread.
 
Why else would you be trying to make things personal?

Why else would you be trying to invent things about me to measure yourself against?

Because that's what you're doing...which is pretty sad.

Nothing about me or my character has anything to do with the arguments I'm making agnostically. You like to include yourself in your arguments, whereas I do not because the personal is pointless when debating a subject.

You basically make everything about you, and I do not. That's why you'll never get the better of me in any debate. I don't have to resort to desperate acts in order to feel less insecure.

You are not making any arguments.
 
Not that unusual.

When I graduated we were in a recession, and I had to work odd jobs until my career path really hit stride.

That's why I don't put much stock in anecdotal stories of 22 year old philosophy grads working at Starbucks somehow being a harbinger of the worthlessness of humanities degrees. Nobody ever asks what these baristas ended up doing by the time they reached 40 years old.
They are the ones who want the government (you and me) to pay off their student loans.
 
What claim are you talking about? You're the one who made a claim about ME, not the other way around jackass:
RQAA. Answer the question put to you. Stop evading.
So what fucking claim did I make, Yakuda?

YOU made the claim.

YOU.
Inversion fallacy. RQAA. Stop evading. Answer the question put to you.
This is always what happens with you idiots...you all open your big, fat fucking mouths, then put your tiny feet into it and then get mad at me for pointing it all out.

Insults are not an answer. Answer the question put to you.
 
Reading the graph in the opposite direction, over 50% of humanities & social science majors do not regret their field of study.

Nearly 60% of vocational and technical training majors do not regret choosing that field.

Etc, etc.

Random numbers. Pointless argument.
 
I mean, every single post of yours is emotional and you've been downplaying and diminishing the value of a college degree.

Why would anyone do that if they weren't being made feel a certain way simply by other people existing?

You got so emotional that you made a claim about me, but then tried to spin it as a claim I made about you:



Calm down. Take a breath. Get a handle on your emotions.

Inversion fallacy. Evasion. Answer the question put to you.

:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

listen up, junior............there is absolutely NOTHING you could say, or prove that you did, to make me feel insecure in any way, shape, or form when it comes to you...............I am absolutely quite comfortable and secure in who I am and what i've done

Lousy Vermin is a truly obnoxious vile excuse for a human being.
