For many people, summer is a time to earn some extra money, and in addition to a traditional summer job, another option is to work as a self-employed contractor during the summer.
A light business model is particularly well-suited for situations where you want to work independently, invoice clients without having your own company, and decide for yourself which assignments to accept.
