The article is confusing 'independent contractor' with 'consultant'. All the points are true for 'independent contractor'. For a 'consultant' they're not even in the same universe.
- bonemachine 13y agoHow so? Not that I doubt you, or don't have some idea of the distinction (I've done a bit of both, myself) -- I'd just be curious as to how you'd articulated it.
