I have a BA in...Communications, Print emphasis. I started out as a Biology major, but Organic Chemistry (OK, and reg. chemistry too) kicked my pert little tukus. So I switched my major and minor, and felt it a much better fit.
After graduating I worked for a specialty newspaper, kinda got screwed over, did a lot of free-lance stuff, and came to the conclusion that I could sell everything I wrote (and I did), and at the current rates would still stave to death. That's when I set my cap on technical writing, and haven't looked back. I'm now a technical editor, and because I have a flair for computers and software (a flair for someone never trained in the stuff, lol!) I also do systems integration analysis for technical pubs.
I'm happy with my job but I fear it's a bit specialized, so I'm always looking for training in any areas I can get approved for, to expand my knowledge base and improve future employment opportunities.
