I've worked for people with accounting degrees and hate it. The majority are very linear in their thinking. all the little boxes have to line up.
Engineers would be next.

A lot of smart people are IYI
The Intellectual Yet Idiot
Education: Almost always attend “elite universities,” such as the Ivy League or Oxbridge. NOTE: Most students at these schools are not IYIs, but a decent percentage qualify.
Industries: Tend to have experience mostly in academia, the government, “think tanks,” and the mainstream media.
Skin in the Game: None. They advocate for or against policies from which they never feel the negative effects, making such advocacy meaningless.
Media: Like The New Yorker and TED talks (ugh).
