    People in my humanities courses would be fearful of science and math; and people in my science courses were the worst writers and quite sub-par critical thinkers

Really? I noticed that most people, humanities or science/math are pretty ignorant and non-thinkers. It's crap either way. But both sides have a few gems that rise up.

I end up correcting humanity papers, and I'm in comp sci. I think it's more of an issue of actually thinking rather than just going with the flow like most people do. There's a difference between being educated and being intelligent.
