Hello everyone!
Recently, the list discussed a thread on journalist-to-techwriter career
path, now I'd like to ask about a related path: engineer to tech writer.
I've been working as a applications engineer at a small company and among
the many hats I wear is tech writer. I've enjoyed the writing and am
considering moving my career in that direction.
