Hi Dave,
I read the same "make a six figure income technical writing" by Peter Kent
before I jumped into the fray. Since then I found that my tech writer
friends who make six figures are either consultants, conference speakers,
and programmers. And one has his own tech writing job placement agency.
Stick around long enough and others be like, "I learned about the field
from articles by Dave Renn...."
