<p>And - if you read my earlier post - I agree. A well-rounded education, including communication skills, is important for any career. But I also said that the education in the “soft subjects” (yeah - go ahead and shoot me down for that term 
) does not have to take place in a college. Learning does not end when you leave the classroom. So, “assuming” that an engineer or scientist or accountant has no experience in, knowledge of, or interest in history, literature, language, the arts, political science, etc is silly.</p>
<p>And you’re comment “I know many tech/accounting/engineering people that are wonderful at their trade but cant speak intelligently about anything outside their field. Yet the funny thing is, this lack of knowledge doesnt stop them from an air of authority on all subjects” can apply to anyone with any degree. I have run across many liberal arts folks with the same “affliction.” It’s not a one-way street. </p>
<p>IMO, making major generalizations about people (like math/science/engineering majors are “uneducated”) demonstrates a very limited, shallow view of people.</p>
<p>Gordon_Gekko - I think you and my DH would get along quite well! Can’t speak for Wilson and FDR, but he agrees with you on Lincoln. (Oh - and he’s a Yankee!)</p>
