The assumption being that writing is the hard bit. Not to mention on such a worn out genre that plenty of 'good writers' get ignored and not widely advertised.

During my sophomore year I won the most prestigious writing contest for English undergrads in my school, came with a $1000 award, my names up in the English dept building and I got to meet the provost. My major is EE. Long story short: it was very funny having the English majors in my requires lit course see me win something they should've applied for.

You wouldn't believe how much writing has helped me since, especially for technical writing. Many engineers, both professions and students are simply bad writers and easily impressed by anyone in the field who knows how to.

that's because english majors write about deep to you garbage.

same as college musicians, too focused on classical and academical garbage rather than writing pop shit and rap with their academical skills.

same as painters painting abstract shit instead of drawing hentai.

It's easy, just regurgitate the flowers of rhetoric, poet language; platitudes and at least adhere to the commonly known and attestable prescriptivist grammatical guidelines.

What aspects of writing do you think you are best at, and what do you think is most helpful? I'm in CS and never was into writing, I feel super uncreative, but spelling and grammar were extremely simple to me in primary school relative to what I could tell of others. I've never had problems with writing assignments beyond a shitty pencil grip that destroys my hand and ring finger after prolonged physical writing. I'm pretty shit at outlines and planning though, I generally do a one-shot draft followed by a lot of editing.

Barely-related question: did you take a technical writing course? Is there much of substance to gain from it? Been in so many dumb courses which were nothing but a set of assignments to prove you're competent.

Not him, but you should take a technical writing course. STEM people are shit at writing. Thankfully my advisor made me rewrite my proposal like 500 times before he let me submit it back in undergraduate, so I can do technical writing.

You'd be surprised how much writing there is in research, industry, and academia.

Fields where there is an actually decent gender ratio in favor of females:

-Economics
-Medicine
-Law
-Biology

But no, you had to be a fucking faggot and do Philosophy for the pussy, plenty of pussy in many other more interesting and better paid fields, practically only Engineering suffers of an 80% Male ratio.

And that makes a difference how?

go to a gay bar unless you're american.

>>8158954
American.
>School is also full of Panjeets and Muzzies
>Southern state so lots of guns
I'm not getting withing 250 yards of a gay bar. Also because all of the local gays are feminized by all the women around them they're super faggy. If I wanted to date a woman I'd just date one.
