When you can communicate, you can:
Have healthy relationships with your friends and family
Get and keep a job
Be able to understand what others mean when they speak, even if they don't use words the same way you do
Be able to understand how to speak so that other understand you, even if they think differently from you
Cope in situations where the unexpected happens and people need to work together
Function in the usual day-to-day situations, like shopping, dealing with neighbors, strangers, and government bureaucrats.....

Honey, its very important.
any field were you are involving customer service, you are going to need strong communication skills.
That includes every job you can think of,
think about it.
and there's so many forms of communication, written/or e-mail, just by reading my information i'm sharing you can get a vibe, of whether i'm being honest, or pulling your leg, or trying to tease, or insult you.
You can pick that up in written, etc. some others are telephone communication, if you called me and asked me this same question, and i answered saying "its important in a single tone, you may think i don't want to be bothered.
you also have verbal and nonverbal communication.
which is different all together.
Example: you are at your fav. eating spot. you placed your order, the waiter skids the plate across the table to you, now of course that's over the top, but that's negative nonverbal comm.
Ex: in doctor's office an elderly lady, begings to tell you how her dog got run over by a bus, and starts to cry, you (a doctor, or whatever, even a parking attendant) nod you head as she's talking, or offer her a tissue, or hold her hand.
that's positive and you don't have to say a word.
verbal would be of course talking, and knowing how to communicate with the highest authority at you job, or school, down to children is very valuable.
And there are so many educated fools, meaning whatever is their field of study--is it for them, poor communication, no common sense... those type of things, or little knowledge of anything else other than what they are studying.
Communication is also part of what builds your character, knowing how to comm. knowing what to do given a situation, and when to carry it out, and doing it because its right, not because its popular.
So, i'm also saying it can tie in with critical thinking, which can also be valuable in nearly every field.
I am very shy by nature, or an intravert, but because I have strong communication skills and like to help people, no one picks up on that at all.
I hope i helped.

Try learning VBA or some such programs.
Communication in written form for VBA is the worst I've ever encountered. Books and MS are terrible.
Even educators have weaknesses in communicating today.
Read some of the questions right here where communication has failed in our schools. And answers.
Go shopping or eat in some restaurants. Enough said.
Management training all too often fails miserably.
