My English degree from Drake has been valuable to the communications aspects of my career and current graduate studies. Ironically, even though I work in the "business" world, the critical thinking, and organizational skills I learned in my liberal arts classes have been more valuable to me than any of the business courses. In my opinion, Drake made a major mistake recently, by merging the Journalism and Business schools!!! Learning how to think critically and independently is far more valuable in the real world than knowing how to prepare a balance sheet!
