    You dont need to have a technical background. Just have some knowledge of basic languages like html etc.
    read seo e-books, apply those rules and yes lots and lots of practice/experience too.

    Just have the will power that you can get your site to the first in SE. Just learn the basics, work on it, try apply your perceptions and you will succeed. Dedication is more important than Qualification.

    I think there is no basic knowledge other than HTML basic knowledge. You should start reading some books over SEO and start contributing in forums. You will gain some quick knowledge this way.

    SEO professional is rare .. before coming to seo i dont have a technical knowledge .. now also i dont have it.. just look out through this forum.. our lot seo professional are around here.. u ask them .they will clarify your doubt..
    Dont worry to become a seo person.. we can survive when the WEB comes to end. there is no end to web(internet).

    for my suggestion
    learn HTML
    study some seo e-book
    use this forum
    share your knowledge here..
    other will disclose their knowledge to you..

    when you become a SEO professional, you won't need to worry about "career growth" because no 5 to 8 normal job is going to pay you anything close to what you will be making on your own.. the real SEO's are not for hire.

    A basic knowledge of HTML shall be required but still i woould say that a non technical person can also switch to SEO field.And as far as i am concerned SEO is totally a marketing stream( Internet marketing).

    Regarding growth so now days in the world of growing technology websites have become a essential part of a man's business.Well large scale and huge production business are revised through electronic means only,where SEO too plays a vital role.

    I think you should never go in this field because competition level is so high in this field. You should learn php and should go on web development field.
