- 9:10the
- 9:10time
- 9:10being,
- 9:11I
- 9:11think
- 9:11I
- 9:11would
- 9:12keep
- 9:12the
- 9:12side
- 9:12work.
- 9:13The
- 9:13other
- 9:13thing
- 9:13you
- 9:13could
- 9:14do
- 9:14is
- 9:14look
- 9:14for
- 9:14better
- 9:15paying
- 9:15work.
- 9:16Like
- 9:16I
- 9:16said,
- 9:16when
- 9:16I
- 9:17saw
- 9:17$12
- 9:17an
- 9:18hour.
- 9:18I
- 9:18got
- 9:18to
- 9:18be
- 9:19honest,
- 9:19I
- 9:19was
- 9:19kind
- 9:19of
- 9:19taken
- 9:20back
- 9:20by
- 9:20that.
- 9:21I
- 9:21believe
- 9:21there
- 9:22are
- 9:22probably
- 9:22some
- 9:22better
- 9:23options.
- 9:24Another
- 9:24thing
- 9:24you
- 9:24might
- 9:25want
- 9:25to
- 9:25consider,
- 9:25and
- 9:25you
- 9:26didn't
- 9:26mention
- 9:26this
- 9:26in
- 9:26your
- 9:27question,
- 9:27so
- 9:27I'm

- 9:27of
- 9:28digging
- 9:28around
- 9:28here,
- 9:29but
- 9:29you
- 9:29might
- 9:30want
- 9:30to
- 9:30think
- 9:30about
- 9:30looking
- 9:30at
- 9:31some
- 9:31training.
- 9:32Maybe
- 9:32there's
- 9:32a
- 9:32trade
- 9:33that
- 9:33you
- 9:33can

- 9:37you're
- 9:38thinking
- 9:38about
- 9:38those
- 9:38options,
- 9:40I

- 26:04And
- 26:04you

- 26:05to
- 26:05think
- 26:05about
- 26:05that
- 26:05here,
- 26:05too.
- 26:06But
- 26:06let's
- 26:07talk
- 26:07about
- 26:07the
- 26:07options.
- 26:08Now,

- 26:14stay
- 26:14as
- 26:14a
- 26:15W2
- 26:15employee.
- 26:16Now,
- 26:16maybe

- 26:18hey,
- 26:18everybody's
- 26:19going
- 26:19to
- 26:19be
- 26:19a
- 26:19subcontractor.
- 26:20I
- 26:21think
- 26:21they
- 26:21may
- 26:21have
- 26:21some
- 26:22issues
- 26:22there.
- 26:23The

- 26:29you
- 26:29can
- 26:30negotiate
- 26:30a
- 26:30different
- 26:30rate.
- 26:31Maybe
- 26:31that
- 26:31$6
- 26:32an
- 26:32hour
- 26:32isn't
- 26:33enough
- 26:33to

- 26:36changes
- 26:37or
- 26:37cover
- 26:37the
- 26:37other
- 26:38pieces
- 26:38of
- 26:38this
- 26:38puzzle.
- 26:39That
- 26:39would
- 26:39be
- 26:40important.
- 26:40Another
- 26:41thing
- 26:41I
- 26:41would
- 26:41do,
- 26:42especially
- 26:42when
- 26:42it
- 26:43comes
- 26:43to
- 26:43employment
- 26:43stuff,
- 26:44is
- 26:44ask
- 26:45for
- 26:45written
- 26:45terms.
- 26:47I
- 26:47want
- 26:47this
- 26:47written
- 26:48out,
- 26:48exactly
- 26:49what
- 26:49my
- 26:49expectations
- 26:50are.
- 26:50I
- 26:50want
- 26:50to
- 26:51understand
- 26:51what
- 26:51your
- 26:52expectations
- 26:52are,
- 26:52because
- 26:53think
- 26:53of
- 26:53it
- 26:53like
- 26:53this.
- 26:53When
- 26:53you're
- 26:54an
- 26:54employee,
- 26:55most
- 26:55employees
- 26:56that
- 26:56work
- 26:57in
- 26:57a
- 26:57state
- 26:57are
- 26:57what
- 26:58they
- 26:58call
- 26:58at
- 26:58will
- 26:58employees.
- 26:59Your
- 27:00employer
- 27:00can
- 27:00let
- 27:01you
- 27:01go
- 27:01at
- 27:01will,
- 27:02but
- 27:03what
- 27:03you're
- 27:03talking
- 27:03about
- 27:03now
- 27:04is
- 27:04different.
- 27:04This
- 27:05is
- 27:05not
- 27:05a
- 27:05typical
- 27:06employer
- 27:06employee
- 27:07relationship.
- 27:08So
- 27:09I
- 27:09would
- 27:09get
- 27:09stuff
- 27:10in
- 27:10writing.
- 27:11And
- 27:11then
- 27:11once

- 27:11get
- 27:11stuff
- 27:12in
- 27:12writing,
- 27:12you've
- 27:12got
- 27:12to
- 27:13look

- 27:15got
- 27:15medical
- 27:16coverage
- 27:16that's
- 27:16being

- 27:17or
- 27:17maybe
- 27:17you've
- 27:18got
- 27:18a
- 27:18flexible
- 27:18spending
- 27:19account.
- 27:20They're
- 27:20not
- 27:20going
- 27:20to
- 27:20be
- 27:20able
- 27:21to
- 27:21do
- 27:21that
- 27:21if
- 27:21you're
- 27:22a
- 27:22subcontractor.
- 27:23So
- 27:24think
- 27:24about
- 27:24that.
- 27:24Look
- 27:24at
- 27:24how
- 27:25much
- 27:25those

- 27:27There's

- 27:31pay
- 27:31something
- 27:31called
- 27:32self
- 27:32employment
- 27:33tax.
- 27:33That's
- 27:34basically
- 27:34an
- 27:34additional
- 27:3515.2%
- 27:36tax
- 27:37on
- 27:37top.
- 27:37That's
- 27:38one
- 27:38of
- 27:38the
- 27:38reasons
- 27:39they're
- 27:39giving
- 27:39you
- 27:40a
- 27:40higher
- 27:40wage.
- 27:41There
- 27:42could
- 27:42be
- 27:42expenses
- 27:42related
- 27:43to
- 27:43this.
- 27:44And
- 27:44there's
- 27:44also

- 27:45issues
- 27:45about
- 27:46protections

- 27:55might
- 27:55not
- 27:55have
- 27:56as
