Abstract: Abstract Would you prefer your CEO to be an arts or science graduate? Does it matter? What if they had a first degree in French or history or philosophy, as opposed to mathematics or physics or zoology? What about media studies or sociology or women’s studies? And what if they had higher degrees in these subjects, indicating a real passion? Or perhaps an attempt to defer adulthood and getting a job.
