15. Independent contractor
This is a fairly simple transition, that is why we decided to start our list with it. The concept is simple enough, do whatever you do at your current job, but source yourself out to other people. At first, you can do it part time while you build your client base and after you have established your business, quit your job and move into contracting full time, or half time, or over time. That’s the beauty of being an independent contractor, you work as much or as little as you want.
