Absolutely. I took the time to finish up my D, and got the incentive to
look for a better job.
Last year, in 4 months of work I made as much as the full year before,
surprisingly, because the consulting paid much better. I'm tempted to stick
with it, but most of what I have been doing is such small potatoes that it
bores the **** out of me, despite paying fairly well. I am used to working
on a scale of thousands of machines, not 3 or 4, but the last few contracts
have been fairly interesting.
I did have to turn one down though, as it was in NJ. I pride myself on
never having stepped foot in NJ, and never plan to. =)

Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago?
