Hi Chris --
It is difficult to totally assess without understanding your financial
situation, # of kids in your family, and your customer base. Are you the sole
support? With that being said.
Most of the consultants I was competing with about 7 or 8 years ago have
disappeared, left consulting, or took full-time work.
If you are considering consulting:
* Do you have several clients that will continue to give you a
stream of work?
* How will you market yourself?
* Will you be able to prove 3 jobs in a year to comply with many big
companies requirements for a consultant (& not a W2 temp)
* Are you willing to work onsite & travel?
Feel free to call me if you'd like to discuss further.
Regards,
Susan

All,
I am wondering if I can get some opinions from this list on the benefits
and downfalls of consulting/permanent EDI work. In the current
marketplace is there a need for 'road warriors' or is the market
saturated? How does one break into this world? Is it worth the
risks/rewards? Or, should one be happy that one has a decent permanent
job and stick it out for the next 30 years?
All responses are welcomed and appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
