		<description><![CDATA[When I was starting out in the freelance web development business one of the biggest obstacles I kept stumbling over was the pervasiveness of &#8220;garbage jobs&#8221; and junky &#8220;job search engines&#8221; that clogged the internet.

		<description><![CDATA[Escape the Office? I can barely afford to feed myself, let alone my kids. I can barely even keep up with my bills, mortgage and grocery expenses. How can I think about leaving my office job (or any job) and finding a more fulfilling life? This is a common refrain.  Therefore, it seems like I [...]

These days it seems that you can take just about any career and turn it into a self-employed venture, or at least a contract position (where you can negotiate a remote working environment or work-at-home office.) Overlooked by many wannabe-office-escapees, it&#8217;s perhaps the easiest path to having more control [...]]]></description>
