Moving from TR and ED to TC & MC, Need information on studies and work

[Bat-Sheva Myllys <batsheva -at- sci -dot- fi>]

I am in transition from ca 30 years of technical, scientific, 
medical, legal and commercial translation into technical 
communication and marcomm. The idea is to telecommute from my current 
office, next to my house.
Have been a passive member here and on Techshoret

Like most of us, I have a variety of degrees and certificates in 
various areas of knowledge and professions. I am now attending the 
STC (a member) TECHOMM101 and plan to take a major intensive course 
with WritePoint to cover documentation planning, using the various 
tools, many of which I own, know and used in their far older 
versions, and more.

I would most highly appreciate if some of you could write to me, 
on-line or off-line, whichever way you find convenient and tell me 
about their own experience
- what they studied and where to modify their abilities to match the 
need of the market, - what they found useful and what not,
- how they went about getting contract work,

What I really hope to find is some "big sister or brother" to give me 
a helping hand through some short discussions, to help me cross the 
line safely.

I live in Finland. I write in and translate into English, Finnish and Hebrew.

Of course any and every input will be most appreciated!
