We already mentioned that technical writing jobs are on pace to expand by 12 percent, a higher than average rate, through 2030. So if having a lot of job opportunities is one mark of a good career path, technical writing definitely fills that bill.
It’s also a lucrative path, as long as you earn at least a bachelor’s degree. The average salary for technical writers for 2021 according to BLS was $78,060 per year. The top ten percent, though, make more than $125,010 annually.
