I know, Vince. I may be the last man in America that actually WANTS
my children to receive a liberal arts education. (Of course, Mary
would have a bird about this. Her B.S. degree has always paid off
directly, while mine has always been completely indirect.)

Stick with it.

No matter what field your kids go into, however technical, there is a
point somewhere on the promotion path between Exploited Intern and
Senior VP where most of the job becomes reading and writing: once they
have responsibility for projects and coworkers (i.e. they're no longer
at the bottom of the food chain), they will have to write performance
reviews, proposals, project plans, press releases, RFPs, annual
reports, progress reports, funding requests, and all kinds of other
things. If they know how to write clearly and communicate
efficiently, they will be able to keep moving up; otherwise, they
might end up angry and bitter, stuck near the entry level forever.


All the best,
