This really doesn't impress me at all: > Obviously you will have outliers who have started companies at 16 and sold them for a few hundred thousand etc.

What does:

Organizing parties. Knowing a wide variety of people and organizing an event takes a lot of creativity skill and chutzpah.

Making music, not just good at a single instrument, but be able to play a variety of instruments, create new tunes, perform and have fun. Knowing the history and influences is a bonus.

Speaking multiple languages. Its always been too difficult for me.

Looking after people that were seriously sick. Parents/siblings with cancer, mental problems or disabilities. Its hard the hardest thing in the world. If you can come out all in one piece I have utmost respect.

I used to look down on soft skill heavy jobs and tasks thinking it was bs that only people who failed in "real" tech/engineering would care about, until I realized how hard it is to get anything more than 3 people to work together, be on the same page and not stir up drama.
