It is not necessary to have a particular type of degree to be a technical
writer. The ability to learn enough about a product so you can explain it
to the people who will use it is more important than the type of degree.

Those who are not technical writers may believe it takes a certain type of
degree, but in most cases this is a misconception. It is like saying a
person needs to know how to repair a car before driving it.

My first technical writing job was writing instructions for industrial
shrink-wrapping machines. I didn't know anything about such machines when I
started, but I picked it up quickly enough.

Good luck,

Dave Murray
