You're Already Self-Employed

Best selling author and marketing guru Seth Godin is a strong believer that the new economy means being responsible for your own career.  Key quote, from trend spotting site PSFK,  on everyone being self-employed:

"The idea that you are a faceless cog in a benevolent system that cares about you and can’t tell particularly whether you are worth a day’s pay or not, is, like it or not, over.

In the long run, we’re all dead. In the medium-long run, though, we’re all self-employed. In the medium-long run, the decisions and actions we take each day determine what we’ll be doing next."
