A majority of Americans say they would change their choice of college, degree or field of study, if they could do it over again. Gallup, an American research-based company, and the Strada Education Network reported in June that 51 percent of Americans regret one of their college education choices. The study also found that 36 percent of Americans said they would change their major if they could. Twenty-eight percent of Americans said they would choose a different college or university. And 12 percent said they would choose a different degree program. Precious A. Smith is the Deputy Director for the Center for Academic Excellence at Howard University. Smith does not want people to think that 51 percent of American college graduates are unhappy with what they are currently doing. She says the students might have just made different choices if they had different information at the time they were picking a major or picking an institution to graduate from.
