Re: T.W. Background
Hello, all,
I was just wondering about your backgrounds and
trining in T.W.
I have a few questions:
Where did you go to school? What was your major?
How did you end up in this industry? Does its future look bright?
1. University of Washington (Go Huskies!)
2. Technical Communication (it's an Engineering degree there)
3. By deliberate choice (Why else would I get a degree that's actually in this field?)
4. It depends on whether or not you're working in a stable job now. It's hard to feel optimistic when you see a Bay Area company post a job opening seeking a FT tech writer with significant technical skills and they offer only about $60K as the top of their range.
