How has your English degree from Duke shaped your work life?

Writing and creative thought has always been a part of my work, and of any work. I brought my complete Shakespeare and complete Milton with me on my military deployments. After military and corporate work, I've returned to writing (and speaking), which is surely influenced by my English degree!
