 How many people are content with being a technical

I must be of the small minority who is. But then my career went the other way round: Engineering, Executive to technical writing (as a good way to stay out of mischief)

Do people see themselves as being tech-writers for the rest of
their working lives?

For as long as I can put together a decently coherent and lucid piece of work

Or  do they hope to move into another field or into
management?

Nope, been there - not challenging any more

If they do  plan to move away from technical writing, what do
they plan to do next?

I hate to even think about it ;)

Ultimately?

Same as the rest of human race...
