I took my humanities courses because I was required to. At the time, I would have been happy if all of my classes were math/CS. But afterwards, as in, a few years later, I realized that I probably would have learned most of the technical stuff on my own. It was being forced to study the non-technical that really taught me something new and interesting that I likely wouldn't have learned on my own.

This year marks ten years since I graduated. I cannot prove that college was a worthwhile thing, but I look back on that time very favorably.
