[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean by great writer? A novelist, or just someone who is able to write a grammatically correct email, Power Point presentation, or business plan?  IMO, the best way to become a good writer is to read a lot. [/quote]

OP here

Yes, fair question.....

[b]DC, a HS junior, wants to pursue a career in law or business.  So in that sense.[/b][/quote]

Such a silly question for someone interested in law or business.  If you want to pursue a career in law, get top grades in a good school and score well on the LSAT while majoring in whatever you want.  If writing is a big deal to you, major in English or philosophy.  If you want a career in business, go to a school with a good B-school.[/quote]

No, not a silly question.  Being a good writer as an attorney is a must.  Being a great writer as an attorney puts you head and shoulders above.  Anything that puts you in that second category is a HUGE plus.

And being a great writer in business, coupled with very good quantitative skills, makes you stratospheric.[/quote]
