: I agree with TJ. I just retired a couple months ago after being a secretary/administrative officer for 30+ years. Up until the last few years, any boss-type person who found out I knew shorthand would expect me to use my skill, even though my job description did not include shorthand.
: In my earlier years, I took so much shorthand (2-4 hours a day!) that I began to hate it. Now I only use it for my own convenience, for which it is a great skill to possess!
: I not only think it's dying; I think it's dead!
