Right on schedule, I'm now self-employed -- for the next year or so, anyway, while I learn the video production and other multimedia skills that a 21st-century journalist needs. I'm on schedule because workers are more likely to pursue self-employment after entering their 50s (I'll be 51 in three weeks). The number of older entrepreneurs is expected to rise further as baby boomers seek more job security, Americans get older and cheaper technology drives down start-up costs -- a trend I noted three years ago in one of my most popular USA Today stories.Use this link to e-mail feedback, tips, snarky letters, etc. See Tipsters Anonymous Policy in the sidebar, upper right.
