>>A great course in history teaches you how to think differently and with deeper context about world events and your country's politics.

Context matters. If you are studying history when you are about to be promoted to be the general of your army, or pursuing a career in diplomacy these things make sense in the context of your career.

For general folks the value of this information for all practical purposes is zero. Compared to say an education in STEM where many concepts can readily used applied across other disciplines, as its just Math at the end of they day.

For this very reason, some civil engineering graduate can pick CS way easily than say with a graduate degree in history.
