[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was also tired of the rat race and office politics and quit that job to become a consultant. I work as an independent contractor now. The client is supposed to review my work and their employees are ultimately responsible for all of my work products. I don't think about work after I leave the office in the evenings, and even if I work overtime occasionally, I'm paid for it. There are no more concerns about promotions, raises, better office space, no more performance reviews and goal setting; no immediate boss; and the pay is better as well. Love it.[/quote]

Please, PP, tell me how you did this. What field? Where do you find clients? Do you work for the government? Do you have one employer who rehires you on a contract basis?

I have very specialized skills, and I'm sure I'd make a lot more money as a consultant, but I don't know where to begin (and I dont' have a lot of time to research this). Did you set up a legal single owner business (sorry, don't know the correct terminology)? I have an accountant and lawyer to set things up if need be, but I don't know how to do invoicing, how much to charge for my time, etc. --where did you learn all this? And how do you pay for health insurance? I have a child with a chronic illness, so COBRA isn't affordable for me, and Obamacare is a fantasy at this point. Sorry to hijack, but you are living my fantasy! [/quote]
