, the study found at 28.8% of millennial employees regret cost of their college degrees more than anything else. That's the greatest percentage of any generation surveyed — 26% of Gen Xers have the same regret, as do 13% of Baby Boomers.
"This points to the struggle that has so strongly defined millennials: the student debt crisis," the study notes."The burden of student loans is a plight shared by every group in this research, but the degree of student loan regret changes throughout these data cuts," states the report. "Those who are younger, majored in lower-earning fields or attended private universities tended to regret their student loans the most.
While graduates of all majors had regrets about the debt they took on to pursue higher education, those who graduated with degrees in humanities were most regretful – health sciences, art, and social sciences making up the top three.in engineering and computer science, and who have higher income potential, were the most satisfied with their college degrees.
"While the experience of going to college is a cultural ideal for many," says PayScale Director Wendy Brown in a statement, "the cold realities of cost and income are making many students regret their college decisions."
