The students of humanities are better equipped with many social skills. But it is not that they're the ones only with social skills. Every stream offers some unique skills related to the works at hand or the problem in mind. Commerce increases your analytical skills. Science increases your analytical and reasoning skills. Humanities gives you an overview of world politics and its systems and increases your life skills. It is good for one to keep grooming their own skills in order to be the best in their field.
