Yes, it's true... but there's a steady market for technical writers in IT, Manufacturing, and Pharmaceuticals.

I find some of those non techies are jealous of the salaries that the tech folk get. Heck they make pretty good money considering that they did not have to go through the rigors of an engineering curriculum.

Jealousy is stupid. You want the big money? Go back to school and put in the work.

People are only paid what the market says their work is worth... and that's true of tech writers and engineers alike.
