I went to a liberal arts school for undergrad. The emphasis on writing has been very important to my career- I've found as I've advanced in my career as an engineer, being able to write well has helped in writing design documents, pitching ideas and in lots of other ways. It's funny, because at a time when the liberal arts skills are maybe more valuable than ever, liberal arts schools seem to be concerned less with what makes them valuable.
- bluejekyll 7y agoI completely agree with this. I had a similar experience. Those soft skills are invaluable for explaining concepts and proposals in crisp coherent ways.
- reilly3000 7y agoSpot on. Cogent writing will probably be the last thing that automation can touch, and the most important for navigating the complexities it creates.
