TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
First of all we need to create a 1000 page study guide and sell it for $250/copy. Then we need to develop a 10 week training course (1 - 3 hour class a week) that costs $1500. Then we need to develop a 200 question test with a required writing sample section and charge unsuspecting college kids $300 to take the test.
Play with the numbers a bit, you'll get the idea.

Very wicked, very funny, Andrew - and probably about as valid as any
certification test STC could come up with!
