RE: entering tech writer field

["Tracy Boyington" <tracy_boyington -at- okcareertech -dot- org>]

That depends, of course. ;-)  Is there a particular area he'd like to
work in? If so, I'd minor or major in that area. If he's going to be a
generalist, tool knowledge will be just as helpful as technical
knowledge when it comes to finding a job, IMHO, as long as he has the
ability to learn his subject matter once he gets that job.

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?
