[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just trying to read my car manual this weekend because I had a question about something and it was gibberish. Clearly, the world needs more English majors who can write clearly. It was just shockingly bad. [/quote]

That is why someone with a STEM background with very strong communication skills and writing skills can go far.  Every company needs a strong marketing team, someone who can write the manuals, etc.  But it's hard for an English only major to be strong  in the products of many companies . Hence by both skill sets are important

LOL I’m but a lowly English major but I’m pretty sure I could write a car user manual without an extensive background in STEM. Of course I also took advanced math and science classes because I went to a liberal arts college so maybe that qualifies me to explain what the various lights on the dashboard signify.

STEM people always think they can easily master the humanities and that humanities folks can’t do STEM but that’s just arrogance. [/quote]
