Most independent consultants have some FUD (fear, uncertainty, or doubt) when it comes to finding work. Even if you’ve been self-employed for years, dry spells between projects can still happen, and if you’re just starting out it’s especially difficult to find your own work. It can take several months to set up your business, establish your reputation, and build your network in order to find and bill your own clients directly.

In a doctoral degree, your GPA might be somewhat irrelevant if you do a good job in the lab or on a project.
