[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an excellent writer. That, and a liberal arts degree, got me a series of poorly paid jobs in journalism, publishing, editing, and communications. Writing is a skill that certainly can polish a student, but I would not focus on it at the expense of anything else. It’s a difficult skill to quantify, and not one the working world particularly values.[/I This could describe me too, but I managed to get a series of well paying and interesting jobs as a writer. There’s a certain snob factor to wanting my children to be great writers— not just good— and to developing a taste for good writing, but I agree that it’s not as valued in the wider world as it should be. In fact it is less and less so.[/quote]
