If You Must Do It, Do It Well

Many students enrolled in a Freshman Composition class believe they are taking the class just to 'cross it off of their list'.  In reality, they are learning skills that can apply to any profession they plan to pursue.  When entering the professional world, employers hope to hire an employee that has obtained skills in several areas.  The more well-rounded an applicant appears, the more successful they will be. 
                Whether you are a hopeful psychologist, business representative, or even a coach, you will always need to possess writing skills to do your job well.  In psychology, communication is key.  A psychologist should be capable of writing numerous reports, case studies, and research reports with skills acquired throughout their educational career.  A business representative should always have clear, professional communication with their coworkers.  Improper communication could lead to the fall of your business.  Although most people would assume coaches have a less demanding writing aspect in their career, it is critical for coaches to be able to communicate professionally with their students’ parents and their boss.  No matter what profession a student decides to pursue, their writing skills will always be critical.
