Did you know that the skills you are gaining as an Arts student – communications, critical thinking, and collaboration – are all in high demand from technology companies? According to Bluewolf CEO, Eric Berridge, 65% of open job opportunities at Apple/Google/Facebook are non-technical: marketers, designers, product managers, HR specialists, and more. It’s no wonder why Forbes says the “Arts degree has become tech’s hottest ticket”.
