Has anyone have benefited after obtaining a MA degree in Technical Communication? It's something I've been considering as a new career for me down the road. But I don't plan to apply to this program soon because I plan on getting a certificate first and get some experience plus a portfolio of my writing samples, to get a feel if I will enjoy this field or not. I guess I'm trying to make a career change although I do love my current career as a graphic/web designer the past 10+ years. But I also love to write.
