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.
As I was finishing up my B.A. I did a survey of the tech comm jobs posted on
the WWW and in the Usenet groups. I found lots of jobs that asked for at
least two years experiences (and a lot asking for five years), but none that
asked for a Master's.
I would only recommend pursuing one for reasons of increasing your job
skills or personal fulfillment (at least those are my reasons).
