TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
"I don't know if this is off-topic, but I feel like this list is a good
pladce to ask this question: What's a typical salary in Michigan for a
technical writer with 10 years experience and a B.S. degree?"
I've worked as a Technical Writer in Michigan for about 12 years, and always
as a full-time employee for a company (sometimes the lone writer, sometimes
on a team). I have a Bachelor of Arts degree. My salary started out at
around $21,000/year (don't miss those days), topped out at $63,000, and now
it's a little below that (but the pay cut was worth it!). Mostly, I've
worked documenting software and related materials, and now I work for an
ergonomic consulting firm, doing manuals and a variety of other documents.
I think it really depends alot on the industry you're in...
