The rest of their time they spend interacting with team members, in training to learn about the company products or to use new tools, or testing their materials with representative users. Most technical communication jobs are urban. In Texas, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Austin are the best markets. Texas Tech graduates work all over the country, but up to half have taken jobs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Recent graduates have favored Austin.
Most graduates work in companies whose business is something other than publication.
That is, they might work for Texas Instruments, which manufactures computer chips, among other things, but also has a need to provide written information about its products. A few graduates work for publishing companies, such as textbook publishers. Some work in financial services companies. Some work for companies that develop training materials. There are jobs for people who can write well in most subject areas.
