RE: Seeking advice on English MA

[Marguerite Krupp <mkrupp -at- cisco -dot- com>]

Finish the degree for yourself... for your own personal satisfaction of
having done it.

I try very hard never to hold a person's degree against him or her. After
all, we all made mistakes in college!<G> I even hired a Ph.D. in Social
Ethics once, and she turned out to be a darn good tech writer.

If you don't have the techie background, take some courses. Get some
meaningful, even volunteer, experience. That shows you have commitment and
intellectual curiosity.

I don't care what you did in college or the military or whatever, especially
if it was 10 years ago. Can you solve my documentation needs? Show me!
