Re: Another spin-off: where to find writing jobs that are NOT IT related

[Mitchell Maltenfort <mmalten -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Thanks for the ideas, but unfortunately while I could pick up
pharmacology or molecular biology, my ability to draw is pretty
limited.  (To improve it, I took a figure drawing class, and the
instructor suggested I become a cartoonist!)

I think I'm better off building up and marketing the statistical
background.  Of course, that assumes that there's a demand for tech
writers who are comfortable with statistics.  Does anyone have any
insight there?

I've visited the AMWA web site but they ask members to sign up
(application fee and all) before having access to the job market
listings.  Perhaps my thinking is limited, but I'd like to get my feet
wet in the field before I join the association.  I know NASW (National
Association of Science Writers) insists you have five clips in order
to join.  I have joined MediaBistro.com, but that's more of a
generalist outfit.

Again, ideas welcomed.

I can answer any question.
"I don't know" is an answer.
"I don't know yet" is a better answer.
