US Women's Soccer Coach is former Tech Writer

If you are following the US Women's Soccer team currently playing in the
Women's World Cup tournament, you might be interested in this bit of trivia
about the coach, Jill Ellis. I came across this tidbit while reading her
bio on Wikipedia:

Ellis earned a Bachelors of Arts
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelors_of_Arts> degree in English
Literature and Composition at the College of William and Mary
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_of_William_and_Mary> in 1988, and
earned a master's degree in technical writing at North Carolina State
University <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_State_University>.
[5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Ellis#cite_note-WaPo-5> Her mother
Margaret "was horrified", on learning of her plan to give up her lucrative
job as a technical writer at Northern Telecom
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northern_Telecom> to work as an assistant
coach with subsistence pay,[15]
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jill_Ellis#cite_note-mh_20140904-22> while
her father John advised her to "do something substantial" instead.[5]

Nice to know if the soccer thing doesn't work out, she can always go back
to tech writing ;-)
