The recent discussion re. Anon's problem had me thinking. As a publishing
student who fell into tech writing by default, I am curious. What led you
people to do tech writing? What are the biggest satisfactions and
motivators? Is the money really that good? What did you have to learn
(school, field, self training, on the job) that was most useful and
important in your work? What do you see in the future for this field? What
are the different categories of tech writing? Thanks.
