So i started my first “career job” a couple weeks back as an independent web contractor. I’m currently working for LUX Media doing XHTML/CSS layouts and then connecting them to the the content management system we use (cmsms).
My biggest fear going into this was that my technical skills would not be up to snuff, but so far i’m doing just fine in that regard. I am very happy that i bought and read Andy Budd’s book CSS Mastery: Advanced Web Standards Solutions
Thus far the only realy problem is that i haven’t gotten paid. But that’ just because i don’t know if they’re just going to hand me a check, or it’s going to come in the mail or what. I invoiced them and they acknowledged it. I’m going to have to learn more about taxes as an independent contractor. But for the meantime i just know i have to save some to give to the man at the end of the quarter.
