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.

You have to turn them over. ;-)
Seriously... wouldn't it be cool if, instead of the survey, STC could
come up with some kind of database that would allow you to plug in your
qualifications (education, years of experience, geographical area, types
of experience, etc.) and find the salary or contracting rate average for
your "peers?" It would at least answer a lot of these questions. ;-)
