>I agree with you. I think Michelle's biggest ally in this is her husband. If there is no real financial pressure to succeed right away, then she has the time to ramp up. Maybe even do a small volunteer application for a charity or church where she can get some practical experience in use cases, CRC, OOAD, and general consultancy issues.

I was actually thinking about this. I'm just not sure how to go about it. Somehow I think if I walked up to a charity and asked them if they needed any software written, I'd get blank looks. That's one thing I don't get about this business. How do you find out who needs programs written?

Thanks,
