You can teach someone how to write properly, but you can't teach them how to write WELL. And therein is the problem. Advance study in writing is useful for teaching you the fundamentals. It also teaches you to read critically. But at the end of the day, knowing what the tools are and being able to properly use them are two different things.That said, if someone is in a "dead-end" job with a master's degree in ANYTHING, that is their fault. I know business owners that would fall over themselves to have someone with the solid communication skills a Master's holder should have. Many English and/or Creative Writing graduates often end up in high-end business positions in sales, management, or marketing...all fields were solid communication and writing skills are a boon to a company.A recent study found that 1/3 of the U.S. population is FUNCTIONALLY illiterate! And many more are literate, but barely so. Those that command the English language can open all sorts of doors for themselves in the business world. Higher education is not about limiting yourself to a narrowly defined field. It's about opening doors to a wealth of options. Very few people actually end up in the specific field they envisioned when they started college, but realize they would never have found their current opportunities without a good education.
