Americans in New York City and Philadelphia had mixed feelings on whether they regretted their college major.

"I was a criminal justice major and I regret it," one woman said through laughter. "I really don’t like it. I would have probably done art."

But another graduate said: "I majored in computer science, and I would keep the same major." 

Nearly 40% of college graduates regret their majors, a Washington Post analysis found earlier this year. Among arts and humanities majors, nearly half wished they’d studied something else, while STEM graduates tended to feel they made the right choice.

"I realized that my major wasn’t very specific," an international business major told Fox News. "I don’t entirely regret it, but when I started applying for jobs, I realized it wasn’t like a specific field."

"Most of the jobs were looking for a specific field like data analysis or like software or like accounting majors," he continued.

Some suggested alternative paths.

"I think going to a trade school would probably be better off," one man said in Philadelphia. "I think right now the opportunities in that field are probably outstanding."

A few in the arts told Fox News they found their passion.

"I got a bachelor of fine arts in musical theater and I don’t regret it because that’s my job," one woman said. "I live here in New York. I’m a Broadway actor."

Just a handful of days after he was assassinated in an open-car motorcade on the streets of Dallas during a campaign trip throughout Texas, President John F. Kennedy was buried at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, on this day in history, Nov. 25, 1963.

President Kennedy, as well as two Kennedy infants, are today interred in Lot 45, Section 30, of Arlington National Cemetery, according to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.

"The permanent graves are located about 20 feet east of the site where the president was temporarily interred on 25 November 1963," the library's website also says. 

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, NOV. 22, 1963, JOHN F. KENNEDY, 35TH PRESIDENT, IS ASSASSINATED

"Each is marked by a simply inscribed gray slate tablet."

The burial of the slain president, only 46 years old when he was assassinated, followed a somber and nationally televised funeral process.

JFK had not specified where he wanted to be buried, according to History.com.

"Most of his family and friends assumed he would have chosen a plot in his home state of Massachusetts," the site also notes.

As a veteran of World War II, he "qualified for a plot at Arlington National Cemetery, but he also deserved a special site befitting his presidential status." 

The spring before he died, President Kennedy "made an unscheduled tour of Arlington and … remarked to a friend on the view of the Potomac from the Custis-Lee Mansion, reportedly saying it was ‘so magnificent I could stay forever,'" the same site points out.

After Kennedy was killed on Nov. 22, 1963, the friend who accompanied JFK to Arlington that day "relayed the comment to the president’s brother-in-law, Sargent Shriver, who suggested the site to Jacqueline Kennedy, the president’s widow," History.com also reports.

"Jackie, who was responsible for the final decision, toured the site on November 24 and agreed. ‘He belongs to the people,’ she said," the site also notes.

The then-first lady also reportedly asked if workers at the cemetery could erect "some sort of eternal flame at the grave site," says History.com.

"Cemetery officials scrambled to put together a makeshift Hawaiian torch under a wire dome, covered by dirt and evergreen boughs. The flame was fed by copper tubing from a propane tank situated 300 feet away."

Then, after the graveside military ceremony on November 25, Jackie Kennedy "lit the first eternal flame and, a few days later, the grave site was enclosed with a white picket fence." 

The next month, in December 1963, "Jackie Kennedy returned to the grave and was photographed kneeling in prayer among a sea of wreaths and bouquets left by recent visitors."

The eternal flame today "burns from the center of a 5-foot circular flat granite stone located at the head of the president's grave," the JFK Library site notes. 

"The burner, a specially designed apparatus, which was created by the Institute of Gas Technology of Chicago, consists of a nozzle and electric ignition system."

The library also notes, "A constantly flashing electric spark near the tip of the nozzle relights the gas if the flame is extinguished by rain, wind or accidents. The fuel is natural gas mixed with proper quantities of air to control the color and shape of the flame."

The library says as well, "The entire site, with a total area of about 3.2 acres, was set aside by the Secretary of the Army with the approval of the Secretary of Defense to honor the memory of the president."

It also says, "The land has been retained for the nation as a whole and has not been deeded to the Kennedy family."

"The area now is appropriately landscaped with new plantings mingled among some of the historic trees."

"While magnolias predominate, there are crab apple, willow oak, hawthorn, yellow wood, American holly and cherry trees interspersed among flowering plants and shrubs."

More than three million people visit Arlington National Cemetery each year.
