[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you considered starting your own business, OP?[/quote] Yes, although this option seems even more daunting. When I was in my 20s, right out of grad school I did some freelance work. One example : a small venture capital company that was not incorporated as a nonprofit, but had a nonprofit like mission was kind of floundering, stalled and not sure what to do next. I conducted a capital needs assessment and trend analysis of the local small business market, researched what other venture firms and NPO's were doing in the market and wrote/recommended a new business plan for them. Other than meeting with the board chair at the beginning, and presenting to the board at the end, I did everything independently on my own schedule and it probably took me about 5 hours a week (I had a month to do it.) They paid me a flat $1,500 for the report. If I could land gigs like this on a consistent basis I'd be in business. [/quote]
