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.
I absolutely love contracting and could never go back to the permanent fixed
rate job. I love the freedom, the money is unbelievable, and the best part
for me is being able to go to a different job every few months. I am able to
continuously increase my skill set and when things start slowing down and I
find myself bored, it usually means the contract is coming to a close and I
can move on to something new.
I think the most important thing for us Tech Writers is that we are even
able to discuss this. There are not many professions who are given the
options we have. I could not be happier with the career I chose.
