- Don't get too hung up on being "independent." I've consulted
- independently for about 7 years. You'll find it necessary to take
- jobs through consulting companies now and again, and then if your
- reputation is very good, you'll get some jobs on referral as well.

- Contact some consulting companies near where you live.
