I don't have any answers, but I've always been attracted to the idea  
of self-employment.  Well, I do have one answer, and that's that you  
can find out all about the different kinds of corporations and such  
from a business law textbook.  But I'd be interested in a write-up  
that describes the experience of coming up with a business idea,  
finding initial clients, doing advertising, how to choose a  
corporation type and get it set up, and any other important things  
I'm not aware of or remembering at the moment.  I suppose an  
entrepreneurial class would teach a lot of those, but something more  
tech-oriented would be handy.  Anyone want to do it for me? ;)
