[CLUE-Talk] interesting home business article - from slashdot

[psychoi3oy at linkline.com]

i'll skip the slashdot summary but this -> 
http://homepage.mac.com/monickels/techjob.html  is an interesting article 
for small business/home user tech support. being currently out of a job and 
not the guru most companys want (how in the world can i have 4 years windows 
XP experience? or 5 years experience and a bachelor's, i'm only 22 for peets 
sake) this actually sounds like an interesting job opportunity. my biggest 
problem is initial capital (business cards, flyers, tools, software perhaps) 
and the fact that i have next to no business sense. i cave in too easily 
when it comes to people whining about something costing too much, i'm 
perhaps a little too customer satisfaction oriented (a habit i picked up 
working at an oldschool service station, doing full serve gas, etc) and fear 
that i'd be too nice for my own pocketbook's good. but if i could do this 
kind of work, even part time, i'm sure i could make money at it and i'd just 
cringe when it came time for taxes (i remember my mom pouring over pages of 
tax stuff when it came time for her to deduct stuff from her home daycare 
business, and i can't stand reading mindless tax drivel). based on the 
article and what you all know about the climate in denver (something i'm 
sorely unaware of having only been here 3 weeks) would this be a good thing 
to look into? or should i shrug and keep hitting monster.com and hope for 
the best there? 

Thanks in advance,
