English is primary language, so communication is necessary not degree.

Only English Degree

Hi,

A Degree in English doesn't qualify anyone to be a Technical Writer. In fact, any decent degree will suffice if you have a good grasp of the 'English' language.

What I like about this profession is that we are a mixture of various educational backgrounds. However, the goal remains the same -- "to produce quality documentation".:)

Degree assures you that a degree holder has earned the quality in the considered field. Creativity needs interest and a burning desire to get the break through within the task ever faced before.
Degree provides you a discipline that makes your path comparatively smoother. It is a kind of techniques that keep you away from certain types of mistakes. So, its like a routine following. It is not an ultimate substitute of creativity and invention.

Its the taste for the language, a degree in English adds to it

Language skills are something which is inside you,maybe comes along with you, but along with that if you have a degree or a post graduation in the language it will definitely boost up your confidence and your taste.
I know many highly qualified professionals in other fields, who have very poor quality of English Language.Not meant to hurt anyone.
