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.
In college, I was a peer tutor -- a student helping other students with
freshman comp, remedial writing, and ESL. Did well at it (ahem) and loved
it. Would go back to it in a heartbeat.
Both my engineering advisor and a project leader at Rockwell (I worked there
nights copying design change notices) suggd I'd be bored to death as an
engineer & happier as a TW. Nearly 20 years later, I'd say it's worked out
pretty well for me. Didn't get a degree to "credentialize" my career
choice, but that was a problem only in getting the first job.
