Eh? I didn't quite understand that..... :-)
Anthropology and linguistics here, which I'm quite proud of. It's actually been of help with audience analysis, interviewing and cutomer visits. I've worked with technical writers who have had degrees in philosophy, journalism, English of various sorts (including creative writing), political science, anthropology (other than me), communications, information archiecture, sociology....I think I'm forgetting some people, but you get the idea. It's been a wide range of backgrounds, and it has led to some interesting conversations.
