You're venturing out on your own, into unknown territory. From here on out, you'll need to survive by your wits, not a paycheck that appears every two weeks without question. The hours may be long and the pay may be meager as you start out. in this passage. how do i understand the question"..not a paycheck that appears every two weeks without question.", can you help me, thank you for major help hoangchinh Joined on Wed, Dec 10 2008 New Member 06

	Clive  +  609791 Thu, 11 Dec 08 04:46 AM Hi, in this passage. how do i understand the question"..not a paycheck that appears every two weeks without question.", The basic idea is that you will no longer have the security of receiving a regular paycheck every two weeks.

	Avangi  +  609794 Thu, 11 Dec 08 04:54 AM When you work for regular wages ($30 per hour / $4000 per month)  at least until you get fired, you can always count/depend on that money coming in regularly, often even when you're sick, or when the company is having bad times or when you really screw up a job and cost the company more than you're worth.  Somebody hands or mails you a check every pay period. When you're working as a private consultant, you may have to go looking for each short job, and may have periods when no one seems to need your services.  Maybe a client will go bankrupt and not pay you, or maybe you'll screw up a contract and the customer will sue you for more than you'll ever make.
