I can't be used as a reference point, since I learned OOP before I
learned TW!
If you want to be a programmer, you should try it. I don't recommend
becoming a programmer just for more money and more "prestige", though. I
am convinced that programming, like technical writing, is something you
have to love to do.

Subject: TWs and Aptitude for OO Programming
My company recently allowed volunteers to test aptitude for Object
Oriented Programming. I scored in the highest tier, while most did not.
Is this a common thread among TWs? I am now wondering if I should make a
leap over to OO Programmer. Any suggestions? Anyone else who has taken
the test?
