[consulting] How is the market for Drupal talent?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

Build a customer base for a while, then quit your day job.

Don't quit without having tested the water for at least six months, and have
validated that YOU can make a decent income from YOUR Drupal consulting.

It does not matter what others are doing (or not doing) or where the economy
is at. What matters is whether YOU can do it or not. The only way to be sure
is to moonlight/freelance on the side for a while.
