Informative post about independence - sometimes people don't realize the options they have, especially when it comes to flexible work and self-employment. But your advice about planning and not burning bridges is spot-on.

And I know several people who are virtual employees, paid very well because of the skills and knowledge they have.

Your readers may also be interested in the 6 principles of "Free Agent Outlook on Work," at the Career Key website, www.careerkey.org. It puts "independence" together with an approach to career planning.
