Wouldn't it be great to quit the rat race? To leave bosses and
timeclocks

the career you love, but chances are it's not the career that's keeping
food on
the table and a roof over your head.

find yourself unencumbered by a salaried position. And instead of looking
for a new job, you're pulling a free-bird. You've printed
your own business cards, buffed up that e-résumé
and e-portfolio, and you're ready to start lining up those
clients.
