MARJORIE SANDOR: Because everyone who might hire you wants you to be a great writer, and there aren't that many wonderful, good, hardworking writers. And people who can think clearly and read between the lines of various kinds of documents, everything from scientific to business to legal-- there are many ambiguities in all of our languages. And if you're the person who can split the hairs, if you will, see what's being covered up or what's not been said at all or what's potentially there, you're going to be one in a million. And learning to read closely and learning to articulate difficult concepts-- or not the simple, unambiguous concepts-- is going to take you there.
