It depends on what you want to accomplish but if you want practical skills such as being able to convince people of your ideas or leaving positive impressions and getting the outcomes you want, I would suggest studying psychology, specifically evolutionary psychology and psychological biases, as well as communication.

Only in an academic setting does anyone care whether or not an argument is valid or sound or even know what those two mean.
