As a counterpoint, people with creative writing degrees can easily, easily slip into any "inbound content marketing specialist" role at $PICK_YOUR_TECH_COMPANY and immediately turn that degree into money. Drama, creative writing, social work, and teaching degrees are all skills. Better, in my opinion, than a "marketing" or "business" degree.
- hga 12y agoI think you're right. "Marketing", eh. Today's business degrees, so I gather. E.g. what my father learned in the '50s getting one allowed him to take a company public in the '60s. The other majors have a better chance of teaching something real, which is a good start. I certainly prefer working with a "writer type" when producing documentation, otherwise I end up doing it myself.
