Nope. It's a reflection of a changing world. No one needs a secretary anymore, since our computers are better at grammar and spelling than we are. And writing for a living went out of style when writing went out of style, iirc.
Anyone who wants to be an artist should secure his minimal necessities first, and then begin his art. Just don't expect to make money on it, because the only ones who might appreciate it would be other starving artists.
The rule, as always is; find something you're good at, that you like to do, and find someone willing to pay you to do it.
If that were true, we wouldn't find that a lot of what is published is complete garble. Nothing can replace an editor - regardless of what her title is - who knows how to spell and to construct sentences.
It's simply a case of, "You get what you pay for." It's cheaper to do without secretaries, but the quality of communications output declines dramatically.
