What is a good subject for a biology/education proposal?

You could present a proposal requesting new lab equipment for a school, or anatomy physiology lab material, or even textbooks. Explain how it will benefit the students and make the school look better if the grades improve.

Career Advice - Technical Writing?

We Answered:

If you love writing then I'd say follow your heart. GO FOR IT! But I don't know much about technical writers, but I'd say they make decent money, doing a Google search shows that they make $63000 a year, that isn't too shabby. http://somethingsyoushouldknow.info/tech… Good luck

George Said:

Can any technical writers out there help me with this question?

We Answered:

A certification would help, an internship would be far better.

I was an English major with a concentration in technical writing. But nobody gave my resume a glance out of college, despite the "concentration in technical writing." Then I landed a three-month Internship with a tech company (unpaid no less!). At the end I went on vacation, and when I got back I had three calls for interviews, and got a job. It's been a lucrative career since. The intership made all the difference.

Diana Said:

Are their any industry standards / certifications when it comes to Technical Writing?

We Answered:

I am a journalism student and my professors have talked to us about technical writing. They said it would be best to get a degree in journalism and from there get some experience in what area you plan on writing for. For example: if you're going to be writing about computers, take a couple computer classes.
