Re: " The big factor is of course is our willingess to put in unlimited time and effort. ;-)" See, the current market for IT contractors makes the above a "killer". Doctors, Lawyers, Dentists, CPA's must all keep up their credentials.... But then again, they're making $150-$250 per hour. That makes it a no brainer. For us for poor suckers under $100/hr, this becomes a questionable activity economically. In fact in my area, the agencies are saying anyone making $60/hr with strong SQL and analytical skills is doing "good". To me, that's pathetic. No benefits, no healthcare, no 401k, no nothing. > Hi Tony: > > In one word the "web". > > There are so many opportunities and disciplines to select and to > master. > > Web page UI, JavaScript coding, graphics, servers and web servers, > dozens of > webserver languages, web databases from SQL to Map Reduce, to the > Clouds... > and then there are content providers, columnists, sales and social > sites of > every ilk. >
