Without a technical writing degree? Yes.
Without a college degree? Probably not. When people think hi-tech, they
think 'nerd'; i.e., someone who really LOVED to study. Even if their subject
was something completely irrelevant, like "The Deconstruction of Formic
Life."
People who dropped out or never went in the first place might actually have
had lives.
Distracting things, lives.
