You've done a terrific job of applying these approaches to your situation, I tip my hat to you. Thanks also for the encouraging words, the book is in a final stage that is pretty labor intensive so it's always good to get that enthusiastic feedback from the outside. - Jon - Jim,

I'm glad to have you chime in. I'm glad you are looking at some entrepreneurial options. I know a lot of successful IT folks who contract their services back into larger companies but make more money per hour that way and it's, in my mind, a much purer arrangement because there is no b.s. about job security, just a clean trade of $ for skills. And over time, you can definitely build a successful company that way too. Good luck to you and stay in touch! I'm currently working on a bunch of final changes to the final version of the book, I'm hoping to have it out in October. - Jon Reed - Michael,

The corporate game is no longer a safe bet in the least. I've been through so many downsizings, mergers and cancelled projects that I'm seriously looking at the entrepreneurial alternative in mid-career (I'm 37). No more of this yearly search for the next IT gig! I agree with you. The corporate game is no longer a safe bet in the least.
