Re: 12 High-Paying Jobs For People Who Don't Like Math

[Lin Sims <ljsims -dot- ml -at- gmail -dot- com>]

At least two of the women I work with used to work (at this company, too)
as electrical engineers, then transferred to the technical communications
department. (There may be more of both genders in this department, but
these two I know for sure.)

I started out studying EE but wound up with an English major that
concentrated in writing.
