I do computer and word-related computer things part-time, freelance
(part-time only because I was foolish enough to start doing a PhD....)
In any case, I'd prolly make more in a year (if I don't fracture my
time as I have been wont to do) than a prof will after 15 years tenure;
at least, that's what my thesis advisor tells me. However, my computer
skills (BA and MA in English) were learned entirely on my own time.
So forget the extra degree... I'd recommend training yourself in
something that interests you and working with that. For me, it was
Quark, other wordy stuff, troubleshooting, and internet things. Some
bits of graphics come my way, but I'm in no way a specialist at that;
it's fun to play, though, and one always learns things.
Happy New Year, all!

who has resolved to do all the things that interest her and not any of
the things that don't (other than laundry) cos life's too short to
waste any more time being unhappy about school.
