Fire Your Boss

I might have to take myself to court over it...I'm consulting my attorney.

Seriously...here's where I'm at right now: I am an independent contractor that makes decent money. Could be better, but it pays the bills. If I worked harder on my other business concepts, I could be in great shape. And I'll have great health insurance in November, thanks to April.

But I'd like to go back into the corporate world for a little while at least--maybe 2 or 3 years...soak up some more knowledge, pilfer some training, start a 401(k), meet and network. There's nothing wrong with being on your own at any level...I totally respect UT and anyone else that runs their own small businesses. And I want to do it some day. But I just spent $19,000 to get my Masters...to not try and put it into practical use in the "working world" for at least a little while would make it a waste of money to a degree to me.
