Well of course you don't regret majoring in philosophy, because your outcome is good (you are employed). I wonder what the other folks who had much more difficulty getting jobs would recommend. The lack of humanities seems to be mainly due to competitive factors and employers reducing risk. Assuming all other factors are equal, if you had only one spot to hire an entry-level software engineer, who would you take the risk on? The CS major or the philosophy major?

If that's all the information you had, you probably shouldn't be making a hiring decision anyway.

  Could you elaborate? At no point did I say the education was the only information available, only that other factors are equal between the candidates.
