The degree does have a use in how it introduces editing, and sentence structure. It also lets someone figure out how to make a network to what they want.

History and Anthropology degrees don't do that.

Great writing requires commitment to an ideology...a view of the world.
Dissenting or even confronting views of the world are no longer permitted.
