” ...I place high value on college. In my mind, a main benefit is learning to write. It doesn’t matter which path is chosen, the ability to write and thus communicate, is of great importance.”

I agree, except that people used to learn how to write in high school. Colleges now have the additional burden of fixing the failures of our K-12 educational system.
