I had a bias against art degrees, but the one person I work with and who's had the most impact has... a theater degree, plus another art degree I forgot. Or maybe philosophy? I thought he was just an exception.

With your surprising and well written example, I realize he's not an exception. There's great value there. And I now fully agree with you.

> And so from that perspective, someone who walks in with a theater or really any kind of arts or social science degree and a modicum of Python under their belt is a very, very attractive hire to me. I can teach you our framework of choice and how to run tests and how to use Jira, but I don't have time to teach you how to learn or how to communicate or how to take direction.

You fully changed my mind.

Being able to multiply matrices by hand is nice, but there's software for that. Soft skills or a rigorous thought process is very hard to find.
