Thankfully, the folks I hire are science types. They do not fit the stereotype of geeks. A considerable number of them are excellent musicians, and have a creditable knowledge of history, economics, and even some art.

The humanities majors – on the other hand – are largely illiterate (nope, I didn’t stutter) and couldn’t think their way out of a paper bag. If one wants to know why American businesses all resemble Dilbert’s company, one can look to Yale, Harvard, and the rest of the sorry collections of marshmallow universities that produce the pointy haired bosses. (Apologies to the few who manage to actually grow up whilst attending these schools.)
