Amie,
If you have Internet access, go to http://www.bls.gov/ocohome.htm
and search on "writer" or follow the link to their index.
You can also search the Web using "Occupational Outlook Handbook."

Hi all,
I'm taking a tech writing program in Vancouver, British
Columbia, and would appreciate information and /or opinions
you have about being a tech writer (e.g. type of work,
typical hours, working conditions, salary range, corporate
culture, and relevant personality/lifestyle issues). Also,
how good are the career possibilities in Canada?
