5. Technical Writer – Average Yearly Salary: $65,500
Technical writers are like normal writers, but more boring: They create things like employee manuals, technical documentation and help-guides for software – you know, all the stuff you skip past and ignore. It’s a snooze-inducing job for most people, but if you’ve got the right mind for it, the demand and the pay are both high.
What you’ll need: Almost all technical writing work requires a bachelor’s degree in the field, to blend the fast-paced thrills of English grammar with the high-octane excitement of engineering and copyright law.
