Last, to bring the thread full circle:
I started this thread talking about how a religious studies course unexpectedly helped prepare me for a software career. That’s great, but!! Lest we fall into the trap of thinking that we must measure the utility of all education against career outcomes:
Software has been •excellent• liberal arts education for me, both in school (computer science), the workplace, and my own spare time adventures. It’s prepared me well for things that aren’t work.
