Tichy - oftentimes as a consultant you can work offsite. There are of course those contract gigs where they want you onsite, but that sounds like it would be just the same problem for you.

I'm the same way though... consulting has been great, so far.

You have to build up a network though and get the word out that you are doing it. I've been lucky so far.

If things go well I'll have made $13k in a month, even though the eventual idea is just to do enough consulting to do a startup.
