Steve Jobs studied Eastern Mysticism and Calligraphy in college. It was the calligraphy class in particular that informed his ideas about design.

I totally agree. Also, Tom Hanks & Tina Fey both studied Drama... and both have contributed enormously to the world.

However, for every employed actor, there are probably 9 other starving drama students who will never make it. It's hard to encourage kids to take Drama with those odds unless the kid is super passionate about it... especially when it costs $60k to do so.
