Technical Writing Training
US News and World Report ranks technical writing as one of the “Best Careers 2011.” People who undergo technical writing training will be able to write a DVR operator’s manual, an assembly manual for a coffee table, and a how-to guide for a smart phone, says US News. Technical writers are masters of breaking down complex information into layman’s terms. Many technical writers come from science, computer, law or engineering backgrounds. Technical writing training helps the science-minded get past industry rhetoric, connecting with the common man seeking common sense to understand something.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that technical writing positions will increase by at least 18 percent, adding 8,900 jobs by 2018. As the number of technological products increases, there will be a burgeoning demand for writers with technical writing training backgrounds. In 2009, the average salary for technical writers was $62,700, with the lowest writers making $37,000 and the highest writers making over $100,000.
