>This may be duplicate information, this thread has gotten too long to retrieve in one step so I don't know if anybody's mentioned this yet. If you're considering going independent, you owe it to yourself to read "The Computer Consultant's Guide" (second edition) by Janet Ruhl. I only recently found out about this little gem. I went independent five years ago and wish I had seen it as I was getting started, but even after some years in the business there was still a lot to be learned from this book. Good luck!


I think someone mentioned that. When I get a little more time, I'm going to go back through the thread and write down all the advice. Or maybe I'll just print the thread out. At any rate, there's too much here to be absorbed in one reading. :)
