One of my July columns takes a look at the idea of taking your skills to a global audience.
Years ago, I wrote about the concept of "nomadic workers," individuals who rejected the traditional concept of a job, and instead, carve out their own unique career path, mostly contingent, contract, short-term and invariably fascinating. These are the modern day knowledge-Bedouins -- they roam the digital planet, offering their works and unique knowledge up to a global client base. I've been doing it for eighteen years. One statistic I use in a number of keynotes observes that some 60% of engineers and architects are expected to be working on a contingent basis by 2012. That's a huge number -- and is indicative of our onward march to a massively nomadic workforce.
