I think the list of No Risk jobs is a little optimistic. I’m a technical writer, and while I don’t feel a lot of pressure in my current job, I can see it going offshore to places like India in cases where the workers may speak better English than many Americans. I guess we’ll see. Retirement is within 15 years for me.

I’m a firefighter and run a photography business. I think I’d be tough to offshore. I still need people to use my services, though.

Hi, 10th:

Fellow tech writer here! Based in Germany, working for co. recently removed from DJ30. Contact me!

About the article: What many readers perhaps don’t recognize is that, while the job title may not have changed, the actual nature of the job may have morphed almost beyond recognition. Q.v. an “auto mechanic” in the 1960’s vs. an “auto mechanic” in the 21st Century.

Regards,
