Happy to be a Tech Writer?

[Gene Kim-Eng]

I'd have to actually have a job like that to be able to answer the
question.  I went from having one foot in an engineer job and
the other in a tech wrier job to having one in a tech writer job 
and the other in management.  The only jobs I've ever had 
where my OTJ duties were limited to writing were 1099
contracts (and when you're self-employed you're still doing
more than one job).  So I really couldn't say if I'd be "happy"
doing the "simple job" of tech writing or if it would just 
become boring after a while.
