Technical writing is the writing of anything technical. Reports, journals, books, manuals...it's pretty broad.

No, I started right after high school. I spent 2 years as an undergrad at Auburn university studing Biology. I then transfered up to Michigan and changed my major to Communications/Film and Video in my Junior year (couldn't cut the chemistry and math needed for Biology). I have 5 classes left and graduate in December.
Fair enough. I just didn't want Jag to assume that, because you were 23, you had spent five years in college, as that might not be true.
and some programs actually take 5 years. I know my school had a program where you get your Bachelor and Masters degrees and it took 5 years.

I wrote a user manual once...that was the opposite of fun
