We Don't Need You

No one needs a technical writer. After all, all we do is write. Anyone can write. The argument that you must have a college degree in English to be a technical writer is absolute hogwash. I do, but it's never been something I thought I had to have in order to be employed as a technical writer. I base that idea upon the premise that members of the Techwr-L list work as a technical writer and, per a recent thread, many of them do not have a college degree in English.

After all, the ability to point out what is wrong with this graphic has nothing to do with my English degree. Rather, it has to do with an eye for detail.
