> >What education got your technical writing career started?

I initially learned from my dad (software developer) who hated doing it 
and would have me do it instead while I was studying art/animation... Dad 
paid me a whole whopping $5 an hour and deducted my allowance from my 
paycheck... so nepotism definitely did not work in my favor!!! LOL 

I got a job after high school working for an animation company doing 
documentation and training.  Then I went back to school and studied 
technical writing and computer science, did a bunch of internships and 
then contracted in the field for a decade. 

I'm working on my masters credits now for an unrelated field.  I still do 
storyboarding for fun but it is for film. :-}
