Add one more assumption: that we want to be tech writers.
More people got into this business via other doors than deliberation,
and few of today's working tech writers prepared for it in college.
$.02, please.

===================
I have a question for all you Techwhirlers out there.
If you could go to school for anything right now, starting with a
clean slate, what would you like to get your degree in (assuming you
are presently a Tech Writer and cost isn't an issue).
Any advice will be appreciated and summarized for the list.
Thanks in advance,
