Interesting. I was once asked for my SAT scores by a manager who was
completely uninterested in my college education (or lack thereof).

It should be noted that many government jobs in technical writing require a
related degree. Some, but *not* all, allow years of experience in lieu of
the degree. Also, the interpretation of "related" varies widely.

P.S.: Beth, watch out for that "byproduct" -- infotek'll getcha.

That's a load of bull byproduct. Employers frequently, especially in this
buyer's market on labor, require degrees before they'll even consider
applicants. Sheesh, I once had to give a manager my SAT scores. Whether or
not they SHOULD matter is subject to debate, but the fact that they do is
just that, a fact.
