Yeah, I thought about recommending an English degree. I’ve known a LOT of really successful English majors in the field of business and management analysis. Within my own age cohort, or older cohorts.
Which is an important caveat given the complete infestation of PC totalitarianism into English departments since my undergrad years (and they were more than Liberal enough back then) I really am doubting the value of an English degree these days.
In my experience it’s the business schools that are, outside of most dedicated STEM degrees (don’t get me started on climate science tho!) the last bastions of classically liberal analytical thought.
I feel your pain. I dealt with that crap when I was in college and recently had to sit through some woman’s tirade about “agency” and “patriarchy” during an AP meeting.
