The older I become, the people who impress me the most by virtue of their ability to argue a position analytically are historians and classicists. Indeed, my own trade - tax - recruits many historians and classicists for just this reason, despite perhaps an expectation that facility with numbers would be more useful. The Bar (and indeed the Law in general) is full of such types for the same reason.
Few engineers have the breadth of knowledge that historians and classicists do.
