Thanks for the responses. Just wanted to hear how other tech writers had
managed a career change. My aim is more meaningful and gratifying work, not
total abandonment of writing or more money (not that I'm knocking that).
Unfortunately, the slow economy may give me lots more time to ponder my next
act than I really wanted to take. Maybe I just need a vocational vacation.
Tech writing is more forgiving of absences than other careers, I think.
