We could turn this into a list about life in the CF world. Sounds fun...
I've been consulting for about 6 months, and it was great while I had it.
Now I'm in an office for a few-month contract. I think that's really the
best way to go. Take the work when you get it, which expands your future
options and networks, but be ready to jump into an office when a rainy day
is forecasted. Another great thing is to have a part-time job contracting or
salary for a company. THen you have the security and flexibility.
Well anyway, consulting seems sucky for Mike D, because of where he is. I'm
sure if you offered him a client now, he'd say consulting wasn't too bad.
