There is a great deal of focus lately on the what’s known as the “gig economy” and “gig entrepreneurs.”
Uber and Airbnb are two obvious examples of the popularity of independence as a gig entrepreneur.
I was speaking with a friend recently, and her son is a prime example of a niche gig entrepreneur. He is a specialized pipe fitter. His skills place him in high demand with defense contractors, energy companies, pipeline companies and the like.
