Can you quantify that though? I mean if you look at people who study writing in college the salary outcomes are pretty bad. Im not saying its not useful, or that its easy.

This is a classic main effect vs interaction. Looking at “people who study writing” is not the useful category here, since it’ll include literature degrees (and probably exclude skilled writers who haven’t formally studied writing, to boot). More useful is to consider skilled writers vs unskilled writers within a same profession.
