Well, most entertainers, writers, comedians, etc. tend to have a humanities background. But these people (like Patton Oswalt) are outliers; they are so ridiculously talented that they would&#x27;ve done with or without <i>any</i> degree.<p>The more time I spend in humanities, the more I realize that this is a field only for the exceptionally talented or the exceptionally hard working.<p>I&#x27;m neither of these things. I just happened to grind away and had a strong analytical mind.<p>This also means that if you get an application from a humanities grad who has &#x27;made it&#x27; within or outside the field, you should take notice - it&#x27;s likely that this grad worked far harder&#x2F;smarter than a STEM major to get where he is.
