You tell us...what is it in this field that makes YOU think this is
something you want to do every day, not just occasionally.
> I am right now working as a software tester in a firm in India. Is

Do you have identifiable success in writing instructions for fairly
complex issues?
Can you find excitement in writing about boring stuff?
As far as knowing some html or flash...has nothing to do with your
aptitude for this profession...only ability does...tools come and go
