Re: Tech Writing Skills, College Degrees, Marketable Skills

 And, Jeanne, you'd be surprised at how many firms would rather spend a great deal on salaries but who balk at buying a simple scanner with a halfway-decent OCR program, or how many companies force tech writers to use a single and often relatively small monitor--when fairly simple tests show convincingly that a dual large-screen setup saves both time and money in short order! 
  
Or, perhaps you wouldn't be surprised after all... 
  
(Does the term "Penny wise and pound foolish" resonate here?)

"Yes, you'd be surprised at how many writers and editors would rather 
work with hard copies of intermediate drafts!  And that requires extra 
effort (typing in text they could have typed in from the beginning)."
