>Let's say your kid (OK, he's 18 and much bigger than I am!) says he WANTS
to get into technical writing and knowledge management.  What course of
undergraduate study would you recommend, and why?

Start off with a couple of years in journalism, then move to history and
earn a BA. Top it off with a Master's in history, too.

Worked for me...
