Consulting is a really good career because you can always find work. The downside is that the work is hard and there isn't much security.
Isn't that a bit of an oxymoron? You can always find work but there isn't much security?

You know the old joke about a consultant?

What do you call an unemployed man with a business suit and briefcase?

A consultant.



Seriously, I think you hit upon an issue maybe beyond the scope of this thread - there are certain professions/lines of work that don't really involve unemployment as much as "underemployment."

IN some ways, underemployment is worse than unemployment - I do think consulting probably fits into that category.

JimOhio,

Good points - don't avoid saving because of a fear of making mistakes. Just ignore what I wrote, OP.
