Why, it tells us all sorts of important things, like that the author does consulting work, but doesn't like it, but apparently it pays money, so that's okay!
It also provides some handy bullet-point tips on successful consulting as copied from some other article. They include such gems as "Charge by the Hour" and "Network".
Oh, and it has a pretty, if somewhat unrelated, picture in the middle, which makes it look a bit like joelonsoftware and thus totally buys it some credibility, in my book.
