OK, why?
I'll admit, I have a Bachelor of Science in Communication. It got me *a*
job. W00t.
Reality check: Our jobs are ever-evolving. Don't expect the command of
language to be a selling point for long. More and more, you need to BE the
SME.
My entire team is seeing the need and acting on it; we're getting experience
in programming, database management, UML modeling, and XML, as well as in
our company's and its target industries.
