With such high turnover, layoffs after busy season and long hours, it makes a lot of sense for firms to just hire people for when they need them and stop using them when the work slows. No hard feelings for both parties once busy season is over.

Sounds like a great transition from working full time towards pursuing more entrepreneurial ventures on the side. By providing the safety net of a paycheck so you can have more time but afford to experience potential business failure along the way.

It’d be really interesting to see your thoughts on marketing as a contractor, how to set your rates, and the conversations with an employer to transition into contracting.

Loved the Huff Post article! Your story of the struggles in your youth and your failures in business is inspiring and I appreciate you sharing such personal details.

I would just add that I would rather set myself back a few years in my career than spend the rest of my life wondering what could have been if I had simply had the courage to try.
