Re: A question about education

[jkajpust -at- concentric -dot- net]

I'm a newbie here too, but I can let you know what I did. I finished 
off 22 years in the USAF and then went back to college to get a BA 
with an English major and computer science minor and followed with 
a MA in Communications and Multimedia.

There weren't schools near hear that offered tech writing 
specifically, so I sort of rolled my own. It took a while, but I do have 
a job as a tech writer (6 months now) mostly doing online Internet 
help docs. In my case my educational background fit in just right.
