That's a good question. I know several technical writers that make a fairly good career. They do anything from technical manuals to help files, to website content. So, currently, I believe it's a good career - like any job you have to create a market for yourself. Going forwards, I'm not sure where it will go.

There will always be a market for the sharing of information - the key will be to adapt on the delivery.
