Math, music, art, and language require different ways of thinking. Other disciplines use these ways of thinking. I think it is important to learn how to function in all four domains. I wish when I was in school I had been forced to study and understand music and art. Math and language got me through an engineering career and helped me be successful as an entrepreneur, but I so wish I could create something just for the heck of creating it.
