    Been free for over a year. Then again, I'm only 19. I guess I will never experience "employment" with a company/corporation and I'll never experience a "boss".

    You better believe it, since I was 14 (22 now)

    God it was good to grow up in America in the computer age. I got a nice early start (it could have been earlier, but oh well, im doing fine lol).

    But you know what I mean, I got into computers when I was 12, made my first website on angelfire, got to the top of altavista, hotbot, and a few other engines back then.

    I thought to myself, my god, do you know how much money you could make off this.

    I was hooked ever since, I ended up dropping out of highschool when I was 16 and got my GED because I needed to be able to run my business full time, that one business alone (selling handbags online) average 25- 40K uniques a day and grosses over a million a year in sales.

    Been running my own consulting business in one form or another for over 17 years now. Started FreelanceLocalTech as a side business this year to help other freelance consultants and micro-consultancies get more business.

    I'm working on becoming self-employed but school takes up a ton of my time and I need a regular source of income.
