> I’ve seen philosophy, English and history majors work in tech, I’ve never seen the reversal. I don't think you can draw a meaningful conclusion from this, other than the idea that it's easier to demonstrate competence in tech versus humanities. If someone asks you to demonstrate your programming ability, you can point them to something you threw up on GitHub. If someone asks you for a critical analysis of Chaucer, Sein und Zeit or the death of Franz Ferdinand, what are you going to do? A degree is expected in the absence of any clear and demonstrable competency.
