Interactive writing is a whole other world from typical professional and technical writing. There are so many other things to take into account and such a wide variety of mediums to use. I have really come to respect good writers for interactive media. I don't think I am interested in pursuing a career in interactive writing, but I am planning to use some of these skills in other capacities. In fact, I have already used my newfound knowledge about creating websites to create a proposal for a different opportunity. By utilizing the skills I learned about various kinds of writing, my proposal will be more than just a typical PowerPoint presentation and it will really be able to engage the audience.
The main reason I don't want to pursue a career in this field is the amount of work and logic that goes into it for so little reward. Running the risk of creating a website or a video that no one will use does not intrigue me.
I do appreciate the skills and base knowledge I gained from this class, but I do not think that I will pursue a career.
