A terrific chance, IMHO! I'm much like you, I think. I'm a Tech Writer
major,
with a Computer Science minor. I recently found my dream job, as a Tech
Writer
working for Intergraph, a computer/graphics firm. I have the potential here
to
move out of my Writing slot and into, say, testing, or even programming. If
you
have the desire, both to learn and to succeed, you can go places.
Did you get a B.A. or a B.S.?
