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.
Should we take into consideration WHEN folks received their degrees?
How many schools had tech writing programs 10-15-20 years ago? The
college I attended fresh out of high school had nothing in the lines
of 'tech writing.' But 'life happened' and I transferred 10 years
later to a university w/ a tech writing program. Otherwise, I would
have a straight English degree.

I am compiling statistics on the current education and degrees of
listserv
members for later posting. Any others? Although most seem to have
English
or tech comm. degrees, let's count all possible backgrounds.
Yo, Ph.D. candidate in tech comm...is this for a future teaching
position?
