Hey everyone, there’s a fascinating study on people who regret earning a degree—whether they went to college at all. Many finish college but later realize they never use their diploma or career path. These are the "degree regret" cases. Is this common? This research was from the U.S.; is it similar here in Brazil? I’ll break it down. This topic was suggested by a public servant from *Ancapistão*, along with others. Thanks to everyone who suggested it. Thanks for watching our video. If you like our content, please like and subscribe—let’s keep growing, right? Well, the ranking was done by Georgetown University’s *College Payoff* study, which measures how much graduates benefit from their degree in the long run. It confirms what we already suspected: some degrees are better investments than others. Typically, technical fields like math, engineering, and healthcare (e.g., medicine) yield strong returns—people rarely regret earning them. Conversely, broader fields like political science, journalism, marketing, and others often lead to regret. **Note:** This study didn’t ask graduates directly, *"Do you regret going to college?"* Instead, it reveals that U.S. universities charge steep tuition, and students invest **5+ years** of their lives—so regret stems from the cost, not the degree itself.
