Re: Salary bell curve: on the downside

["Lurker writer" <lurker_writer -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

Matt Danda asked:

"Anyone else experiencing the down-side of the salary curve?"

Not me. I'm making about 5X what I made when I transitioned fulltime to 
technical writing in 1986 (including my part-time freelance work, 
moonlighting, and workshops). Having been an independent contractor, 
consultant, and manager, I'm doing better now than I was as a 
geologist/geophysicist in the oil business back in 1985 when I had monthly 
royalties and bonuses in addition to my salary.

Trouble is, I'm facing the same economic uncertainty in my regular "job" as 
I did in 1986. That's why I'm ramping up my moonlighting and freelance work 
just in case...
