Like everything else in life, one’s satisfaction or regret is always relative to one’s own expectation, which may or may not be purely monetary. It isn’t hard to see why these majors underperform relative to expectations. They all produce too many graduates in their respective fields relative to the demands in those fields. The best in those fields (or any field) will still do fine but many others won’t. Who can guarantee that the most regret-free major (Computer & Information Sciences) currently is going to remain so in the not-too-distant future, as students today rush to enter the field?
