[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I will have to disagree with the writing well being a part of the STEM field, many hard core engineers are horrible writers and select engineering to avoid that subject, which is fine. Many excellent writers are not so great at higher level math... [/quote] To be fair, I'm a chemist/biochemist by training, and a huge part of both academic and industrial jobs at the highest level has to do with grant writing, writing reports, and publishing. I have seen a lot of really talented bench scientists struggle after their PhD and postdoc are over because bench skills do not translate into the skills required as a supervisor. I can see how this would be different if you were an engineer.[/quote] Agreed. I was in hard core development which is a totally different field. Our PhD levels would create more theoretical writing but with a very high level of technical knowledge so if you had an organized mind they could do very well. [/quote]
