Why?

Life is just funny, sometimes I wonder why we struggle to achieve something and end up not using it.

My friend studied engineering, worked in power sector for 4 years, travelled out to teach English language, now working as a marketer for a company 😩😩😩😩😩

Life is funny.

Well different strokes for different folks...I do mine.

β–  Do you doubt now that writing is about abilities? Some of the world's best writers did not study literature or dramatic arts in school. I studied engineering. But i know I'm gifted in writing.
The fact is there's a technical aspect of writing that someone who is gifted may not know of, which he will need the help of those learned in the field for. John Grisham studied law but became famous for his novels based on legal plots. You're obviously oblivious of the fact that writing is an art
Writing is a skill yet even children are writing and selling books to this day while this one waits until when he first compares to John Grisham before he can do the same.
ROFLMAO!!

Your friend is probably confused! This isn't life but a mind that lacks the basics. undecided

What are you saying now? You're getting things mixed up are you not?
You lack ability to stay on course.
The topic again: "Why Do Majority Of Us End Up Not Practicing What We Studied In The University?"
Children have not been to the university sir.
My initial claim: Writing is not a professional skill associated with linguistics" is in response to your claim that linguists should be writers based on their training.
Can you see how far off the mark you are now?

And do you by any chance imply children cannot be skilled?

So a Linguistic graduate can get a transcription job or even a technical writing job but somehow writing is not a professional skill associated with Linguistics? grin

How can an engineering graduate say that? cheesy

Do you know what transcription is? How does that relate to writing?
Technical Writing is a broad term. Almost everyone who has come in contact with tertiary education will have done Technical writing. It is not particular to a certain profession.
Your obvious confusion is like claiming a mechanical engineer can do the job of a mechatronics engineer. Both sound alike but are wide apart.
Consult Google and you'll understand better.

And what is the business of engineering with linguistics or writing?

A wise man knows a university degree is only to avoid insult and mockery in the future from "name-callers" and to make parents or future children proud.

The real deal is money and wisdom β€” you can get them out of school premises. With this, a wise man doesn't focus on making money with his degree, but making his family proud with it.
Boss where u go since.
Anyways I am hoping to see your new topics about cryptos since the country don go beyond repair and most esp topics about ladies cheesy

Rubbish! What did those technical schools produce except zombies programmed only to think one way and no other way? Abegi! The government should not waste money on such things at all. Rather, educational funds should be channeled into teaching critical and creative thinking and reasoning skills from the kindergarten level at current institutions. undecided
