Hello everyone
I'm new to the list. I'm currently a freelance proofer and copyeditor. I'm
enrolled in a class entitled Editing for Science & Technology, and I'm really
enjoying it.
I don't, however, have a college degree, although in spring I'll have an
editing certificate. I'd like to get feedback from the list regarding the
likelihood of my finding a job as a tech editor without having a degree.
