> exceptionally well-written product announcement Yup... a rare beast these days. My niece is a gifted writer - one of less than a half dozen that I personally know. She graduated recently and had her pick of several positions due to her portfolio of work.

I've been fortunate enough to earn degrees in English (BA), Computer Science (minor), Law (JD), and Business (MBA). The one that serves me the most regularly in my role as CEO of Cloudflare is my English degree. Learning to communicate is so critical to success in your field, regardless of the field.

  She did freelance work while getting her degree (mostly friends/family small business promos, article, press-releases) and received a ton of positive feedback that she was able to use.
