Well, I can't say that I've had longevity anywhere, but as a fairly new technical writer, I feel totally inadequate when I hear the discussions and threads you guys have mainly because I haven't had training in tech writing or longevity, my software experience is limited because I've mainly been in paper environments, so I don't get to use all the fancy tools.

Therefore when I'm looking elsewhere because I'm bored or feeling unloved in my environment, I am looking for training in the current software tools, the ability to speak my opinion and have it respected, not just thrown to the wayside, the ability to make a difference, people who respect me and the job I have to perform whether they like it or not. My biggest one though is the ability to keep learning and not just edit paper documents on an in and out basis. Just my $.02
