Subject:career in TW for MFA? From:"Pam Hurley" <hurleyp -at- worldnet -dot- att -dot- net> To:"TECHWR" <TECHWR-L -at- LISTS -dot- RAYCOMM -dot- COM> Date:Wed, 31 May 2000 13:09:43 -0400
Hi all,
A former student of mine has suddenly realized that her MFA has been a waste
of time (i.e., she can't find a job), and she's interested in the TW field.
She took two writing classes while in college, Business Writing and TW, has
few computer skills, and has no idea what aspect of TW she's interested in.
I suggested that she go back to school, either to get additional computer
knowledge or a Master's in TW, but she insists she's through with
school.
