I'll admit I've been avoiding this thread like the plague, but knowing the
usual suspects, I'd be willing to bet the ones claiming a tech comm degree is
all "graphics and layout" are the ones who don't *have* a tech comm degree. And
their comments should be taken with the same huge grain of salt that you should
use if I ever tried to spout opinions on what's included in an engineering
degree.
