Hi Daniel,
Sounds like a description of the current tech writing job situation in
Tucson, Arizona. God forbid I get laid off, I might have to change
professions!
You might want to consider Research Triangle Park, N.C. which includes the
cities of Raleigh, Durham, Cary, and Chapel Hill. I think it is one of the
biggest concentrations of high tech in the country.
Anyone, is that still a correct perception? I know of some Silicon Valley
engineers who headed to RTP in search of work. Austin & Seattle used to be
hot spots too, but I've heard those areas lost a lot of positions.
Steven Brown's suggestion to work your way up in a company is a great one.
