Well, that's the odd part. This survey about "the connection between
Technical Communication in education and in the workplace" is intended
_only_ for tech writers with degrees, regardless of where they work. So
the survey specifically excludes having a college degree as a possible
difference between tech writing in education and in the workplace. Huh.

Wouldn't you just leave the checkboxes blank and say "no degree" in the
text box?

Sorry, Gabrielle! You lost me (and many others) at Questions 1 and 2:
"What kinds of degrees have you received?" and "What fields are your
degrees in?"
You might want to revise the survey to account for the fact that not all
professional tech writers have degrees.
