I’m in IT, and it’s funny to me that regular businesspeople are surprised when I write, speak and present well. I know there are many in my field who are barely capable of normal human interactions, but that I am gives me a superpower in my chosen field.

Management types want to be around me and want my advice because I am able to speak cogently, communicate difficult concepts readily, and I write well. And guess what? Being around management types is how you get noticed and get ahead.

So don’t tell me that the “liberal arts” stuff is worthless. That’s a fucking obvious lie.
