Well after I have given up a "specialist" position at one of the most so-called well-known companies in the region Safeway-The Sultan Center, being promoted to be a category manager and a huge increment as they claim, I gave all that up to be a "Technical Writer" in a Saudi company called Quality Horizon.
I did a little recearch of my own and this is what I got according to this career shift that "I hope I will not regret on the future" I did.
A technical writer is a professional writer who designs, writes, creates, maintains, and updates technical documentation—including online help, user guides, white papers, design specifications, system manuals, and other documents. Engineers, scientists, and other professionals may also produce technical writing, sometimes handing their work to a professional technical writer for editing and formatting, however the primary responsibility of a technical writer is to write technical documentation on behalf of the technical community.
Technical writers normally possess a mix of technical and language abilities. They may have a degree or certification in technical communications. Many technical writers switch from another technical field such as engineering or science, often after taking classes in technical communications.
A good technical writer has the ability to create, assimilate and convey technical material in a concise and effective manner. A technical writer may specialize in a technical area in which they have acquired expertise. For example, some writers mostly work on API documents, while others only work on medical or environmental material.
Technical writers work under many job titles, such as Technical Communicator, Information Developers, Data Development Engineer, or Technical Documentation Specialists. In the United Kingdom and some other countries, a technical writer is often called a technical author or knowledge author.

The graph above shows the scale degree that I might get if I stayed as a tech. Writer.
