I have an undergraduate degree in sociology with a concentration in social theory and a masters in social work with a concentration in research methodologies. Lots of philosophy in the undergrad degree, and some in the second. After a decade in the non-profit industry, as a researcher and as a social worker, I went to a ruby/rails bootcamp and am now employed as a full stack developer. (I already had a significant amount of HTML/CSS experience and ran my own company putting together simple-ish Wordpress and Drupal sites for non-profits for a few years)
I'm not sure if I can pick particular things out and be like, oh understanding Foucault is particularly good for this aspect of startup life, but in general I find myself to have a more solid value system than many people i know in the tech industry, able to figure things out quicker and on my own, and generally find my knowledge much more well-rounded.
