Andreessen has it wrong. Tech degrees have always done well historically, doesn't mean there isn't any place for the humanities. I bet you Andreessen learnt lifelong soft skills from humanities courses he took in school.

Also, if he were right, why isn't all the innovation happening in tech only countries like India and China (where once you're in a tech degree, you don't really take any courses in the humanities)
