Abstract
At least within some organizations, it is possible to create career paths for technical and professional communicators that allow them to continue developing their technical expertise without taking the management track. This paper outlines the kinds of knowledge required for professional and technical communicators who wish to pursue technical alternatives rather than careers in management.
