Andreessen has it wrong. Tech degrees have always done well historically, doesn't mean there isn't any place for the humanities. I bet you Andreessen learnt lifelong soft skills from humanities courses he took in school.<p>Also, if he were right, why isn't all the innovation happening in tech only countries like India and China (where once you're in a tech degree, you don't really take any courses in the humanities)
