Job news, part 1

Depending on which USAToday article you read, full-time employment either has great benefits or next to no upside. First: "self-employment plunged last month as entrepreneurs sought steadier income and benefits with established companies." But then there's this: "Many companies are likely to ask workers to pay more for their insurance, and rising health care costs mean companies may dole out lower raises." So take the job for the health plan or quit to start freelancing because the health plan sucks. Whatever. Just don't send any resumes to Hewlett-Packard.
