YOu asked
Will I
> have a good chance of getting a relatively well-paid writing or editing job
with a B.A., or do you REALLY recommend grad school?
Based on our limited experience with interns and technical writers who have
considerable experience, the most important thing is
*a portfolio* of
technical writing, business writing, magazine, newsletter, publicity you
have done for class, non-profits, government, or corporations. We believe
60 % of our cooperative education students and interns get job offers
before graduation
Good luck.
