Hello,
I am interested in becoming a technical writer. I have a M.S. in Chemical
Oceanography but no degrees in English, Journalism or Communications. I
want to work in the Seattle area. Is it possible to get a job as a
technical writer without those degrees previously mentioned? Any
suggestions on getting started are greatly appreciated!
