Salaries for New Prof/Tech Writers with Hard Science Minor?

[Boiarksy Carolyn]

Again, that sounds like a good idea. Except the answer to the particular question being asked should probably come from the field, rather than those of us on the sidelines. Any chance we could do some kind of survey of employers.

And my guess is that the STC office may not want to expand it. (We’re waiting to see.)  What about the STC Academic Community doing a more extensive survey where we could ask these and other very important questions about our work, our educational product, our students and the nature of our workplace.  This could cover curricular details like this, and the many other items that might not make it on to the survey.

    Thanks. This makes a great deal of sense.

    This discussion seems to be focused exclusively on reporting anecdotal
data.

But we're a group of academics and researchers and, as a result, should
be demanding stronger evidence than that, even if it does not yet exist.

Although it will not provide an immediate response, I have suggested to
the STC Office that they include questions about double-majors and
minors in the next salary survey, and analyze the data to see if that
has an effect. If they collect this data, we'll have a more
empirically-based response for the future.
