I have made small changes throughout the course of my career with the company to make myself more comfortable in my job. It’s been a little over a year since I was able to meet my goal of being full-time and a regular employee in the company, and I have since realized that it’s not all I had cracked it up to be.

I’m a huge fan of mystery novels and wondered what was involved in becoming a licensed PI in my state (a 60-hour training course and a culminating 3-hour exam). I’ve learned a lot and while some things are too late for us (taking advantage of years of compounding interest, for example), it’s just the right time for them.

So after my lovely child went off to college to develop her own life (which didn’t exactly happen at that time-but that’s another story), I made a decision. In the tender years of my early 40s, I quit my full-time, great paying job, sold my house, and went back to finish college full time.

Outsourcing also beats running payroll yourself, which can get very costly very quickly in both time and potential for errors. Or so you thought.).
