Just the headline of this article alone will likely catch some off guard. Now that 2009 is here, there might be more room for alternative solutions.

Since we're also talking about being more creative during this economic slump, why not think outside the box of looking to work for another in the first place?

I'm rather amazed that there are plenty of skill sets that are for whatever reason not "conventional" enough to be taught in schools, but the mastery of which would lead to more autonomy.

Most of us are trained to be employees- nothing wrong with that, but I'm convinced that thinking that way is a kind of tunnel vision that keeps many from learning skills that wold allow them to carve out there own path to income.

One of them is as close as the computer in front of you. For the first time in history, we are 3 feet in front of the world, yet few learn how to use it in a way to render 1) value to others and 2)income for themselves.

Just stumbled across this—and while I foresaw the recession coming back when this was written, obviously many people (including the rather naive author) did not. If I weren't currently unemployed (and yes, I have plenty of experience and marketable skills), I'd laugh at how stupid this article is.
