As others have stated, there are 2 types of consultants. The first knows his stuff and can walk into a potential clients office confidently, and charges accordingly. The second knows doesn't have that broad of a computer knowledge, probably has very poor business knowledge, and charges very low because he knows it.

Unfortunately, the second group is caught in a catch-22. The don't think they can afford to pay to increase their knowledge, so they stumble around.

>What I understand is that, Independent Consultants (Self-Employed) have better pay check than those employed individuals at least in the U.S. and other developed and/or industrial countries.
