I like your paragraph, but this statement needs revision.
>Technical writers can earn up to $60 000/ year.
Contractors making $40 to $50 an hour can earn $80 to $100,000 and
regular employee pay scales range up to $80,000, maybe more.
You might also mention that there are more female than male
tech writers and the average pay is almost the same for both.
