In this case you cannot really look at current practices and predict the future. For many of us in the "new programmer" category now, we will see an exponentially increasing lifespan as well as several other improved aspects of health and intelligence. In the limit, this may lead to age having almost no meaning. Besides, English Majors?! I dare say that english shouldn't even be a major. A great academic in any field should be articulate in expressing ideas, in at least one language. |

The idea that English departments exist primarily to produce skilled writers is a misconception. 'English' as an academic field is the study of English-language literature, and it's as serious and rigorous as any other field in the humanities.
