Opportunities in Technical Writing

[peter at galley.ie]

John,

The standard answer to a question such as this is "It depends ..."

It depends on:
Your qualifications and background (you said you finish your degree in 2 years, but what subject?)
Are you straight out of school or have you worked in another field?
Your location (countty)?
Where do you want to work?
etc.

I have been looking at Technical Writing as a career, but although some of 
the information on the net is good, i was hoping i could get some real 
answers from people who work in the business.

Is the field of Technical writing growing? I finish my degree in 2 years so 
i would like a rough idea of if there will be jobs when i finish.

I know that outsourcing is an issue in the IT community, and this does 
relate, so what affect will outsourcing have on Technical writing?

What sort of hours can i expect to work?

Can you work part time?

What is the salary range from min to max you can theoritically earn?

Thanks for your time.

John
