Be carefull what you ask for.

I've been employed, unemployed and self employed/employer. The later was by far the best and worst time of my life. If you have the where-with-all to be un/self employed for as long as you want then go for it! For my part, I'm good at getting the job done, but not so good at finding the work or running a business. Just remember to keep in touch with the technology - it's amazing how fast you can get behind the the curve in today's world.
