Yep. People who do bits with writing (whether it’s just as a little side-hustle or they’re earning serious buck as a senior linguist, or anything in-between) are usually the type of people who were very good at English in school and people like that have a lot of indispensable value to offer the world in whatever field they go on to specialise in. In an era of AI it’s easier than ever, even if only subtly at this point, to forget about libraries, reading actual printed paper for leisure and (in the near future, the way things are going) people who naturally excel in the written world (a lot of introverts prefer writing to talking so there, too, it just goes hand-in-hand) but emerging talent in anything literary should not be overlooked in young talent. Writers can do so much for people if-only people would stock more trust in actual people than flaming Chat GPT (or whatever it’s called; I don’t even know). I get how it can be useful in engineering and that’s fine but let it leave wordy-based jobs alone. That talent’s too viable to be eroded in the next few generations just-because AI’s here now.
