I have an engineering degree and was doing tech writing in an
engineering documentation group for three years before I even thought of
using the term Technical Writer to refer to my occupation. Everybody
else called themselves engineers, but I thought TW was more descriptive
in social as well as professional situations.

Certainly my entry into the profession qualifies as *accidental*.
