One thing to add: basic math skills are important. Understanding budget concepts and standard accounting practices will help you greatly. Too many English dept types have zero math skills--a real liability when attempting to navigate a world outside academe. If you don't know what a P/E ratio is or what goes into a 10K filing, don't try to fake your way into a corporate PR job.

Finance and I'd argue Coding at this point. Schools should be redoing the Core and Gen Ed Requirements to include both. Take out the social science and the biology or chem. Add Finance and Coding.
