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.
Hi, I'm Tracey Claybon, and I am both new to the list and a relatively new
technical writer. Currently TW is a sideline to my job as technical support
for a ISP, but I am hoping to break into a job as a beginning TW sometime in
the next month in my company.
I wanted to know if anyone had advice on whether it was better to
"transition" into TW via experience and catch as catch can, or to get a
community college certificate, or go to college in TW?
If the best route is college, where would I find a list of the best schools?
Thanks in advance, and Happy Holidays to all of you,
