Hmm I never considered it that way, I've always looked at it as a way
of saying you never stop learning (tools in good working order, to me
means your mind and your skillset), and if you need C use C, need Perl
use Perl etc.

It's a very convenient analogy, but IMNSHO, one that falls short in the
case of programming. It's too simplistic.
If programming languages were easily interchangeable and equivalent (like
carpenter tools), we would all still be happily using Cobol or Fortran or
PL/I.

You can often times substitute a hammer when using a nail gun, but
you'ld end up working harder to create the same thing. On the other

Hello everyone,
A few months a go I decided to go programmer for hire and started
checking out several contracting jobs.
Over 6 months I've had 5 jobs, only 2 of which made good on funds owed
(and sadly they were both jobs $1k).
It seems to me that

First of all, be careful of who you do work for. You'll learn this

On thing to do is to create your own LLC - limited liability company.
Then you only pay taxes on what you draw.
Expenses are paid for right out of the company - make sure you set up
separate bank account and keep the personal separate from the business -
this is very important for tax purposes.
