Writing well will get you through much of life.

If we could go back in time to take our middle school, high school, or even college classes again, we might be tempted to take more writing courses. Or at least pay attention a bit more in class.

The ability to write well is the cornerstone of communication, even when you’re looking at 140-character limitations on your latest tweet. To compose the ideal tweet, knowing how to write is vital – or else you’re just going to look like any other crazy Twitter user.

Apparently, it’s that generational time again.

Web Watch knows a large number of women who are pregnant, or couples that just have had their first child in the past year or so. Maybe we’re just hanging out with people who happen to be of a particular “let’s have children” age in their lives right now.

We get it — having kids is usually something that’s carefully planned out and organized, and only rarely is caused by the random double-pairing of a dirty martini and a late night movie.

Young adults are graduating college at a slower pace than before.

What used to take an average of four years to earn a college degree is now taking some students five, six, or even some on the seven-year plan.

It’s not like today’s college kids are dumber than college kids before, but there is something to be said for staying in school and learning more while you can – especially in today’s job market where there is cutthroat competition for work.

Homework can be rewarding, if you know how to do the assignment. It can also be extremely frustrating if you have difficulty in the subject matter.

How many companies have you worked for over your career?

Some people find one company and stay with them for years until retirement. It’s rare to find them, but it’s possible to stick with a single organization for 25-30 years or longer.

Then there are some resumes you run across where people flip from company to company every 2-3 years without batting an eye. They aren’t looking for long-term stability and career goals, but rather are just moving on to the next great hit.

So let’s look at this from the boss’ viewpoint:
