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.
This is kinda related . . . but kinda not! Either way, this is my question:
I am a Technical Writer with two years Tech Writing experience. I graduated
from OSU 2 years ago, with a major in English. I am looking to further my
education; however, I am not sure what path to take!
Do I go back to school to get a degree in Technical Communications, or do I
go back to get an Information Technology/Computer Information Science
degree? Is it more important to have more knowledge in writing than
computers? (I am in the computer industry!) In our field, is it even
necessary to have a Masters degree? Or should I just pick up a couple of
classes to stay on top or technology?
What do you think??
