    I mean, even assuming that business degrees aren’t a waste of money and time, learning things you would pick up working in the corporate world anyway, while not learning any creative or practical skills…

    Humanities still make better general-purpose degrees because they actually teach you things like critical thinking, questioning your sources and their biases, self-examination, etc. Things that society needs now more than ever. From my experience of friends with philosophy degrees, the world would be a vastly better place if even 1 in 20 people had one.
