Commenting on his previous column, Carolyn Kelley Klinger wrote:

I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed and appreciated [Industrial-strength Technical Communication]. In January 2006 I left my staff job as a tech writer at EMC where I wrote about content management software. By March I was working from home part-time for the National Cancer Institute during my son's naps, not needing daycare for my then one-year-old and writing about biotechnology, to boot. It's not news to me how very lucky I am able to do this, but what is very affirming is reading your article and seeing biotech on the list.

Even if for some reason you hadn't mentioned biotech, I still thought your article gives readers an excellent sense of the real world. I'm going to recommend it to everyone that comes my way looking for career advice.

Sincerely,
