i've worked for myself on a much smaller scale. I was freelance designing in theatre for 5 years or so, but never filed as a self employed person because I always kept other gigs open that taxed me, saving me the headache and accounting fees. I never made squat doing what I did, but it was great fun. Now I'm a stay at home dad, but while my wife is on maternity leave, i've taken on a simple independant contractor job delivering papers every night. Again, doesn't pay much, but it's enough to cover expenses while she's home with the kids and doesn't put us any further into debt than we already are (her company's health care plan is terrible at best, and we have to foot 20% of all the medical bills associated with our daughter's birth)
