> I will say that in the STEM degrees people were far more curious than in the humanities. I suspect this is a bias on your part. It's certainly been my experience that people into the humanities are curious about different things than STEM types; some people have no inclination towards building things, or learning about quantum mechanics, or solving problems in complex analysis. But they might be able to talk your ear off about Edith Wharton or Nazi themes to be found in Heidegger's Being and Time. At least where I went to school people studying the humanities were not appreciably less curious or more "here because I have to be" than engineers.
