Sadly, I think that is true...except for Sostanky apparently.

I'm sorry, but I think you have it wrong. A good liberal arts grounding is valuable to everyone including STEM majors. I do a lot of hiring for a technical job and I see a lot of resumes. Those with only science and math classes without humanities courses will automatically often start out with a strike because I'm…
