I have 2 degrees:  English lit & information science. What English lit. does demand is rigor in writing well and persuasively in a coherent argument that is well understood by your target audience. It is a skill effective for: succinct business proposals, business reports and group training for adults.  I have had to develop and deliver all 3 for different employers in different jobs which also include several management jobs where I hired, trained staff.  

In my present role, I work with computer science grads who have different levels of experience.  The most junior one is linear in thinking and narrow. She has no interest in client business change impacts. Just strictly wants to get the product done, client trained and forget about the long term client change management.

Common example: presenting client business concepts, computer science grads are too detailed and love the flowchart approach which only suits their purposes for technical design  --not for the client.
