<p>If she’s wants to be a technical writer AND have lots and lots of job opportunities, she should consider taking programming and as many information technology classes as she can (I’d suggest IT offered through business departments rather than C.S. classes.) Some web design classes would also be a help – more and more is being delivered as web content. Some of these can be taken outside the college she’s attending during summers if she likes. (Some perfectly good programs are offered very inexpensively by regional (public) vocational schools or community colleges. Look for ones that get Carl Perkins funding (not the same as the loan program that has the same name.))</p>
