Adults Regret Their College Education Decisions - Dian Schaffhauser, Campus Technology

Most adults would change at least one big decision related to their college education if they could, related to their major (36 percent), what institution they attended (28 percent) or what type of degree they pursued (12 percent). This finding came from interviews with almost 90,000 U.S. adults conducted as part of an "Education Consumer Pulse" survey run between June 2016 and March 2017 by Gallup and Strada Education Network. Strada, previously USA Funds, is a nonprofit focused on student success in higher education. The Education Consumer Pulse is a new research platform developed by the two organizations to research "education consumers." https://campustechnology.com/articles/2017/06/12/adults-regret-their-college-education-decisions.aspx
