TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
it is thesis-writing time and I'm facing a few major education decisions, I'd
like to solicit some opinions on degrees. Some GOOD opinions, not just some
random ones. :-)
I'm a junior. By the time I graduate, I will have three summers of technical
writing experience and two semesters of class work on a school journal. Will I
have a good chance of getting a relatively well-paid writing or editing job
with a B.A., or do you REALLY recommend grad school?
Disclaimer: I know, I could post more worthwhile things. However, I go to
school in the middle of NOWHERE, and the people on this list are the only
technical communicators I know besides my professors.
Thanks, I appreciate it!
