With soft degrees, where you go to school matters a lot. At the large state school I went to, many of my friends had soft liberal arts undergrads. The only successful ones wound up as faculty members in mid-tier schools. The liberal arts classes I took were among the worst, with the most closed minded professors. When people quote Silicon Valley stars like Reid Hoffman (philosophy, Stanford and Oxford) and Benedict Evans (history, Cambridge) look at the school too. Communicating clearly, and thinking systemically are very important. I’m just not convinced that most colleges and universities teach those anymore. The people who have it get it elsewhere.
