Which direction to go...........

My name is Nitika and I am a Technical Writer by choice. I have been working since 3.5 years in this field and I am very happy…….. J

If I go back from where I started, I had a very interesting career path.
 I started my career in the BPO sector, and then started working in a NGO as a content writer, while working in NGO my sister suggested me to search about Technical Writing field. After doing a lot of research I was convinced about this field and did a course in Technical Writing from Bangalore.
Soon after completing my course I got a job in a finance sector in Gurgaon as a Technical Writer and came across many new opportunities. Suddenly I got a big twist in my and that was “MY Marriage”.  I shifted to Bangalore and currently working in a Telecom Company.
This was a small snapshot of my interesting career path. 
I am satisfied with the work I am doing and always try to look for the next new development in this field.
But fine one day someone asked me a very simple question, which was, “What is the career growth in Technical Writing?” I explained him the profile but somehow, I was not very confident with the answer I gave. And since then, I am searching for the correct answer.  Someone suggested that I should go for further studies like:
·         Doing a course in Quality Management
·         Doing a Master’s degree in Technical Writing
·         Doing a course in Technical Communication and etc.
My search is still on but I am not able to find my answers…
Now, I really want to do some further studies in my field and want to move ahead, but I am not getting the right path and I don’t know, “Which direction to go?”
I really need suggestions from the people who have explored all the different opportunities related to Technical Writing and have achieved success....
