Thanks mansion. The truth is I still don't know yet what I love doing. After college, when I started working in IT, I loved it for some time but now getting little tired of it. I think I would like to open some business where I have total control. And where money is. And the initial investment would be just around 100k. I saw in some thread about opening a consultancy company which sounded very good to me. On the other hand, I know it is too competetive. Doesn't mean that I am afraid of competetion, but as mentioned by someone in that thread, it really needs lots of networking and contacts. But that may be what I would want to do. But not sure at all. Can you advise? I am in mid twenties and will be getting married in about couple of years. But I want to be independent by then (when I say independent, I mean I have my own business). How difficult would that be?I know I am very competetive and I can rise. I rose from an analyst to senior IT manager in two years. I want to rise more but with my own business now. Thanks, Kattie
