Thank you for taking the time to write this @abirahsan - I've been an independent contractor for a long time, with spats of working a JOB. In my way of thinking, a J-O-B means Journey Of the Broke. I worked in corporate and every year saw less and less that I could bank on. As a hard worker, I figured, HEY, if I'm going to work this hard for others, why not put that energy into my self??? Indeed, I'd rather have the opportunity to be my own FREE person and put in 80 solid hours to increase my business than 40 hours for corporations who don't care.
