Subject:RE: Career paths for technical writers From:"Bill Swallow" <wswallow -at- nycap -dot- rr -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Mon, 23 Jun 2003 23:09:07 -0400
I work for a tech writer who is now Manager of Engineering Services, which
is QA and Tech Writing. I know another tech writer who is a QA Engineer. I
know another who is a programmer. I know others who are product managers,
project managers, directors, VPs, and so forth. I even know one who went on
to become a politician.
If you limit your vision to your local responsibilities, you'll never get to
where you want to be. Tech writing doesn't have a path. No profession does.
Your path is defined by what YOU want to do, what you enjoy doing, and what
you're good at doing.
