You are one of the smartest people I know, and your engineering skills are just a facet of my assessment. I doubt you owe "humanities" as served by higher-education, but you've consumed more fare than most and it's clear. I know people that have found something new in the higher-education exercise. The Ivory Tower has no monopoly or authority on it, but if the goal is to improve mental facility... in my experience, it has that effect.
