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.
If you spend more than 6 months in an industry and are still clueless,
you're done (IMO). You don't have to be an expert after 6 months, but you
should know enough and continue learning.
That said, an experienced tech writer is worth more than an experienced grad
student.
