I can quickly think loud, but the list may not be complete. - engineering - bachelors degree in literature with projects/courses in computer (usage) skills [ It is tough to come up with this wording, being exposed to both India and US education systems, which are very orthogonal. ] - Masters degree in any stream with proven computer usage and good written communication skills - Any bachelors degree with credits on technical writing - Anyone whose blog has 100+ entries and 2000+ hits per month :-).
In summary, - Engineering - Masters degree - Bachelor's degree with technical writing and/or literature credits - Others with established technical writing skills.
