Future Male,

I briefly went through the posts, so pardon me if I get something out of line, but what is being sold over the internet is not necessarily 'crap' but moreso a general overview that most can give you. It is not illegal to hire an IC, or else there would be fewer than there are. It is just that the IRS likes to keep tabs and being an IC subcontracting the subcontractor business can get realy tricky. But what part of business isnt? It is not really specific to what you will be looking for. Because you have a business history it seems that you like the arena and are basically waiting to get it right, 80% of most businesses fail and do better the next time around. I'm sure you will find better success if you start an agency because as you have stated there is little start up and you CAN work from home. I cannot give you all the goods that has taken me 3 years to acquire, but I will say this- you have good time to get your feet wet as your are not even finished with school. Do that, then get your years experience that anyone will recommend, THEN work for a staffing agency per diem/prn even, just to see what it is like. Once you do that you will begin to pick up on tricks of the trade and even make great contacts and work your way in (big companies hate this part of the game- but oh well, right?). I suggest becoming an IC first, because no one will have as much passion and get up and go as yourself to get your business off the ground, save some money and begin to hire employees one by one. Nurses are the creme de la creme, but you may find it easier to begin with what is in abudance and that is CNA's/Sitters or LPN's. Finding a niche is great as well such as specializing in sitters. I saw one agency do that, or CNA's. Good luck to you!
