I like to lurk. Anyway I started dreaming of going out on my own when I had a boss I really didn't like. THe guy made my work life a nightmare. I started hatching a plan to moonlight in the evenings and I picked up a few jobs here and there. I know that in a few more months I will be able to quit my job and really fulfill my dream.

Becoming a consultant was a way to capitalize on the skills and expertise I had developed, and to be more self-directed in my career, and less reliant on employers. I like to have some combination of consulting and employement going at any one time--it's the best of both worlds!

About 5 years ago when the economy was really bad, but I wasn't ready to quit my job because of that. Now seems like the perfect time.
