  A guide for those trying to plot an independent path through the careers map. Whether you want to freelance, work in a cooperative, become part of a professional partnership, or start your own company, this book should prove informative reading. The job profiles have been updated with the coming of the Single European Market in mind. From 1992 you are free to be a fish farmer in France, a garage owner in Germany, a sales executive in Spain or a literary agent in Luxemburg. This guide also contains European information on many individual jobs - whether UK qualifications for individual jobs are accepted throughout the EC; whether or not the local European language is essential; and whether you are more likely to earn more outside the UK. It contains over 250 job profiles, written by those with direct experience of the careers they are describing - from actor to accountant, farmer to yoga teacher, wine bar owner to zookeeper. There are also suggestions as to how you can mix two or three careers together - be an MP and a barrister at the same time, or run holiday accommodation on your farm.
