People underestimate the value of a humanities degree. The point of studying literature or art history is not to study literature or art history, it's to study how people operate from an emotional point of view, and see how the way people acted on their feelings in the past influenced the present. That's a pretty good background to have if you're going to be a people manager. Despite what we like to believe, we are not rational creatures.
