yeah it does depend sometimes...luckily right now its busy enough that i can pick and choose what jobs i want, or people to do work for...weeds out the unwanteds...

it won't always be that way, but its nice for now.

Oh yeah that is a huge perk. Theres others too, plus when you work for yourself, genereally you get paid alot more ten a guy that works for someone else.
