[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The wealthiest person I know (a multi-millionaire) majored in English, went on later to get an MBA, and successfully started two companies. He encouraged his own children to get a solid liberal arts education before picking a career. [/quote] Two of the wealthiest people (Gates and Zuckerberg) on the planet didn’t even graduate college at all. You can’t start making arguments for a field of study based on ultimate financial success because it always ends with the wealthiest people who were nearly all STEM majors or college dropout STEM majors. [/quote] That was during a different era(s). Gates rode the computerization boom, Zuckerberg the internet boom. Technology is not quite the free-for-all it was then. And, BTW, they both dropped out of Harvard. They were hardly academic slouches although I suspect both are on the spectrum. [/quote]
