[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the none-boring, innovative, exciting, revolutionary futuristic interesting stuff are coming out of Tech.  
Most of these risk taking passionate self-made billionaires are from tech - Bill Gates, Jurkeberg, Jeff Bazos, Elon Musk, etc. etc.
Compare it to history english philosophy psychology LOL[/quote]

Guaranteed Bill Gates employs English majors too. People on this board seem to think that all there is to these businesses is techies. [b]Why are we ignoring the people that RUN THE BUSINESS? [/b]There needs to be English majors to write marketing communications, employee communications, executive speeches. There could be philosophy majors on sales, HR, marketing,[b] leadership,[/b] reseller management/partnerships. Frankly those people are needed to balance out all the technical people. [/quote]

Jeebus, THANK YOU for finally spelling this out to all the CS-or-bust dudes with a passion for gaming.

DH and I can pay $85K annual college tuition for DS to play the xylophone for 5 years if he wants.  Why? Because history undergrad, Ivy law DH had a legal/biz role in multiple FAANGs that are now shaping your lives.  Did you check social media today or get a same-day package from Amazon? You did, don't lie.  And you can thank DH, who had a role in developing those businesses although he has never taken a single STEM class in higher education (except 1 bio survey class).

(me, I'm the journalism major/art history minor who wound up working for a chemical company at some point to pay bills.  They liked that I could write and think, no STEM required!)[/quote]

Cool story but Business is #1 major for those roles especially from good busienss schools.
