ANN ARBOR – When a lot of business professionals grow weary of working for corporate America they often tell anyone who will listen that they will become a business consultant. That’s a tough way to make a living, says Gary Erickson, managing partner of Executive Search Partners, a senior management job placement service.

In this video interview with MITechTV, Erickson talks about how he left a high paying job as a Chief Information Officer to begin ExecSearchPartners.Com, and what it was like to leave the corporate safety net behind.

He also welcomes other business professionals who want to learn more about becoming a business consultant, or starting a business – he’s done both – first before taking the leap of faith.
