All,

I, too, am a "teacher turned tech writer," except that
I am pursuing the academic route at the moment. I was
faced with a forced career change at age 47, and I
tried teaching high school for one year before I
luckily stunbled into one of the finest technical
communication programs in the US here at Texas Tech.

Those who wonder why a (non-college) teacher would turn
to technical writing (or *anything* else, for that
matter) probably haven't ever taught. The difference is
like the old joke about the difference between the
North Pole and the South Pole: "All the difference in
the world."

JMHO,
