It was a weird realization that part of why my English degree got dunked on is that in the real world, no one seems to actually read anything. That includes contracts, technical documents, FAQs, reports, literally the text adjacent to sign in fields, etc.

(Sort of joking, but the amount of times I’ve heard “Wow, how did you know that/figure that out?” and had to respond “It was in the document you sent me” over the course my career is too damn high).
