I'd disagree. Most jobs are highly solitary with minimal social interaction. Ask a farmer. However, sure, many workspaces don't. You're missing my point as I'm not talking about degrees but individual class grades. The moment a grade for a class in Nuclear Physics incorporates a group project, that grade no longer accurately reflects that student's understanding of Nuclear Physics but a hybrid of that understanding and the necessary social skills. A degree can and should represent a wide array of skills from technical to social within a domain. This is accomplished by having classes in a wide array of technical to social skills. A class in Nuclear Physics. A class for Group Presenting. Maybe even a combined course if the coupling of the two is actually important for the degree program. It's the blending of two topics into a course under the guise of "it's a good life skill" that infuriates me.
