There are a vast array of problem types: electrical, mechanical, chemical, medical, nanotechnology, virtual reality, manufacturing, design, etc. Problem Solvers are needed in all these areas and more. This is a great opportunity to augment your income by working part-time in your spare time, or as a freelancer. And you can accept only the projects that interest you.

You can also make money while on the move. Check into the ThinkSpace™ with your PDA, read what ideas your team mates have come up with, put in your suggestions, and move on.

"We were very impressed by each other's skills that were perfectly complimentary for this task," Harper says. "We seemed to be able to cover all the bases with very few gaps in our knowledge – and kudos to Paul Wagorn and Scott Wurtele because they realized exactly what the project needed."
– Bernis Harper, PhD

Being a Problem Solver also allows you to explore employment opportunities.
