Is Consulting for You?

The Pragmatic Craftsman :: Simplicity from complexity ::

It’s not for me. At least for now. I’ll reconsider after I’ve had 7-10 years of experience (I have 5 now). But it’s definitely something that’s on my mind. One of the ideas that I got from reading this article, is to consult when I’m nearing retirement (I would love to retire in my early 50s). I would be able to work part time, get some money, and do what I like to do. Not a bad idea. Hey, maybe I wouldn’t have to retire?

Anyway, the following is a very good article.
