Maybe 3/4 of it is from just liberal arts. My degree is in philosophy with concentrations in peace studies and religious studies. As much as I loved the experience, it was certainly not easily monetizable. The remaining 1/4 is from taking computer science classes after struggling to find interesting work with a philosophy degree. I love the structured nature of coding, but the world isn't always so black and white. Liberal arts teaches you to explore and analyze the fuzzy, murky, gray areas.
