| engineering easier than art history? I was having a discussion with my friend's uncle who is a recruiter for a fortune 500 company, and he was telling me that he hates hiring engineers for non-engineering positions. He was telling me that engineers can't think outside the box and he feels that there are lots of liberal arts majors (he mentioned art history specifically) that are much smarter than engineers. he went further by saying that art history is considerably harder than engineering because it requires writing about complicated topics and analyzing social behavior?? or something like this... this seems to fly in the face of everything I previously thought--is this viewpoint common? |
