I have location independent work...sort of like a "data processing" contractor (not comfortable being more specific but I have a small suspicion a poster or lurker knows me here)...per hour rate is great for me...but a bit of a tradeoff in total pay as I don't work the entire month nor do I want to. All I need is a data stick (the work isn't bandwidth heavy) and laptop. Unfortunately I couldn't begin to say how to get to this point as I stumbled across the opportunity by chance after being in the same industry for a little over a decade. Ironically, I think it is not the norm to be able to do so, even though the in-office work makes heavy use of computers.
