I got approached just yesterday to work on a Disaster Control/Contingency
Plan gig at $50.00 per hour.
However, I live in Florida, didn't have the certificate, and don't want to
get COLD (Delaware). I lived in Washington, DC, for 20 years and 'escaped'
when the time was right.
Feel I could have done the job, except for the certificate.
The tasks were 'technical writing' in general. Disaster/Contingency
documents, test plans, etc.
So, $100,000 is NOT out of the range for technical writers.
