No...sometimes, ya gotta come to the realization that there are some areas
of techwriting that aren't at the top of yer prospect list. I realize that
I'm never going to be a techwriter for procedures involving nuclear fission.
There are other areas that need tech writing with skill sets which are more
attainable.

Hmmm... so does it make sense to go out and get an advanced degree in
some medical field so by the time you get it, the medical market may be
as depressed as the software market is?

Many employers are asking for advanced degrees in the life sciences. I
have
seen more of that than the terms you mention, but I am also including
editing jobs here, so perhaps my take on it is a bit different.
