Some of our employers may be willing to do this, I know mine is. So that's probably going to be my route.

One negative? During taxes we get hit with a "self-employment" tax which can be hefty but it beats not having a job at all. There are ways to off-set it by having deductions (something T does on his taxes).

Otherwise, for some of us it'll be time to look for day-labor jobs again or pending what some of us do for a career, offer house-to-house services.
