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.
I know I've seen threads on this topic pass through the list, so
I thought I'd toss it out here again.
I'm thinking about getting a Master's Degree in Managerial
Communications (which is what is sounds like-a hybrid of management
and communications courses).
* For those of you who went for your Master's degree, do you
think it was worth the effort? Were you after a better salary,
employability, or the opportunity to learn more?
In today's market, it seems like it would be best to have the degree,
although I can also see that spending that time getting real-word
experience might be just as valuable (if not more so).
Please let me know what you think by sending e-mail to:

Thank you very much for your time.
