It is amazing how little networking people understand the electronics involved in transferring packets (wireless, cable or fiber) and how important it is to be spot on. An extremly large percent of network bandwidth preformance and connectivity problems have to do with cabling and lack of understanding of how networks communicate.

On another note: The Post below is getting a good response. Several Freepers here mentioned the importance of writing. :)

Writing well gets jobs, saves jobs

People often tell Julie Miller: "E-mail's ruined me."

As a business-writing coach, Miller spends her time teaching professionals — architects, bankers, engineers, you name it — to write better, faster. And it appears that, increasingly, companies of all kinds are realizing the importance of the written word.

"Writing skills are a career-maker or breaker," Miller said. "There's no place to hide now, with everyone having access to a computer, because your writing is on display."

Good writing skills are especially important if you are looking for a job. In a tough economy, employers often are deluged with résumés and cover letters that make the first — and maybe last — impression.
