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.
This might be the wrong list to ask but I've noticed that a lot of
techwriters pass the 5-15 year mark and switch to product management.
Occasionally to other things. What do you find are the typical
post-techwriting careers?
I'm on my own right now doing training, editing, books, a little graphic
design, etc., in Colorado and it's fun but if I'm not more solid on the
$ and focus front in a year, I'll be heading back to the (sigh) normal
world to something with more power and at least a different set of day
to day problems. Thoughts on what other techwriters switch to, how easy
to get into and fun those careers are, any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Solveig
