This is why our jobs are so stressful. It's getting more difficult all the time for the employer to be an employer. There is a growing trend for companies to offer production bases income to private contractors rather than to hire employees. The contractors are responsible for their own taxes, meeting regulations and providing their own benefits. We can view this trend as a problem or as an opportunity.
Current trends offer a better alternative for both the employees and employers.
Today nine of ten families require two full-time working family members just make ends meet. The Internet offers the opportunity of a lifetime. It is leveling the playing field, making it possible for anyone to compete with the big corporations - worldwide. Don't jump to the conclusion that you will get rich quick. It takes time and effort, especially in the beginning, as with any worthwhile project.
