Nah. Here's my career path.

int year;          /* CE */
int income=16000;  /* Pounds sterling. */

for (year=1997; !dead(); ++year)
{
	be_a_better_programmer_than_last_year();
	income+=(rand()%3000)+500;
}
have_obituary_printed_somewhere();
 
As for being a consultant, I have no problem with the role, but it's a 
bit of fancy word. I tend to view the role to be similar to a self employed
plumber or car mechanic.

Get hired to do a job, do the job well, get paid. (Not neccessarily in that
order.)

Bill, insane, but one of the happy kinds.
