It’s been so long since I took a class outside of the business school and I have been spoiled. I forgot what it was like to have to read inherently wordy texts and descriptions of seemingly useless information.
I’m having to reteach myself how to skim and filter again. I’m used to writers doing it for me, with the idea that no one will read or care about what you have to say if you can’t say it with the greatest economy possible. I don’t like how upset I get when ideas and theories aren’t summarized into ten pages or less with models and graphics following them. I perceive the written word as… clumsy.
Maybe it’s just me. Three years of journalism followed by three and a half years of business school have killed any enjoyment I received from seeing or using flowery language, creative syntax or interesting idea structures. Instead, I opt for effectiveness. Value. The smallest opportunity cost possible.
Maybe it’s for the better. Maybe not. :/
