Years ago I had a clever young Airman worked for me in the Air
Force.
He was taking night classes through the A.F. and wanted to get his
collage degree through the G.I. Bill. He wrote to the Personal
Managers of General Motors, General Electric and Exxon asking for
their advise on what degree would give him the best chance of
getting
a position with their company. they all said the same thing - get a
degree in English.

Apparently the ability to read and write English properly is an
asset
that companies are prepared to pay good money to get :-)

Inability to write clearly kept me from taking engineering positions
for many years. I could do the work but I couldn't explain it or write
an operators manual, or pass a tech writing class. I began posting
here as self-help therapy, to practice on people who don't write my
review.
