I've been thinking about starting a co-op with a few people recently (get a front end person, a backend person, maybe someone who knows CMS's and can do website things, someone who knows marketing, a writer, a designer, and an ops person) and taking on freelance work. We wouldn't all be needed for all projects, we'd all try to bring in leads, and it would generate good part time work for everyone. On the side if we did this I thought I'd go work at REI or the local climbing gym or something. Just some place that I don't absolutely hate being where I can make a guaranteed 10-20 hours of terrible wages to pad out the dry spells where we don't have freelance work. I think if this could be properly balanced I could only work the equivalent of a few full time days out of the week, but also I've never done it so maybe it will just be impossible and consume all my time for no pay.
