Well, most entertainers, writers, comedians, etc. tend to have a humanities background. But these people (like Patton Oswalt) are outliers; they are so ridiculously talented that they would've done with or without any degree. The more time I spend in humanities, the more I realize that this is a field only for the exceptionally talented or the exceptionally hard working. I'm neither of these things. I just happened to grind away and had a strong analytical mind. This also means that if you get an application from a humanities grad who has 'made it' within or outside the field, you should take notice - it's likely that this grad worked far harder/smarter than a STEM major to get where he is.
