If you don't have that kind of ambition, you'll get near or to the top of whatever endeavor you undertake.
Learn enough smattering to be interesting and you'll have a ton of friends and acquaintances
Decide first and foremost ... what do you expect of your life.

Good point, and you can even make some money by writing papers for business and engineering majors while you are in college. English is the language of MONEY, and if you can write it and say it, you can MAKE it. I just committed a vague pronoun reference, but at least I know that!
There are probably lots of great ideas out lying around, inert, because the progenitor is incapable of communicating the idea. What was once a true education is now “arts and crafts” because liberal idiots were allowed to take over the humanities. Logic, literature, rhetoric, philosophy; all dead. Why would a business leader need those? Gee, I can’t imagine. Oh, and to be able to communicate them with precision? Why, he might have to read something by a good writer to learn that skill!
