[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish more people at my office majored in business rather than history or interpretive dance or whatever so that they could write well.  I literally say to myself all-the-time how I wish everyone majored in business.

I loathe receiving multi-paragraph emails that I need a map and highlighter to piece together, like a riddle, the point in 1 sentence or less.  My God!  I don't care about all the backstory and pointless facts.   Longer is not better in business.

In fact, it's so bad at my office, I'm going to start sifting through old emails of certain people, pluck out the 5 words of importance, and keep a running sheet so that I have a reference document nobody else will create, and then I will share it with my team!!  It will also be. . . Chronological!!![/quote]

History is VERY good for learning how to be a better writer, and leagues better than business in that regard.[/quote]

That’s nice. Companies do not care.[/quote]

History major niece just started at one of the top 4 consulting firm with $125k and a signing bonus. She did take hard courses from CS, math, economics but no additional major, minor, certification or track. [/quote]
