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.
I'm going to put to rest all this polemic & speculation, one of these days, by
conducting an exhaustive techwr-l survey. I'll plug the data into a relational
database and build a tech writer profile according to:
techwr school curriculum vs. graduate success
formal education vs. current skill set
current skill set vs. income
income vs. suit-wearing frequency at work
number of suits owned vs. pairs of matching socks owned (if any)
sock colour-protocol adherence vs. office productivity (if any)
