Is traditional employment dead?

Last fall I tried to jump start my motivation for the job search by attending a job search club at my local public library. For me the best positive from this group was this blog. One of the other things we discussed at great length was whether traditional employment was dead. Most of our discussion was about the difficulty for an employee to find a traditional full time job with benefits. Instead people would have to begin working part time, project work, consulting, contract work, etc.

This piece details how many people are perhaps giving up on traditional work. Those of us still trying to find full time work may find this hard to believe, but there is a growing group of people leaving full time jobs to become more entrepreneurial. Kevin Wheeler gives us 5 Reasons Why Traditional Employment is in Trouble.

What do others think? Are you ready to abandon full time work to venture out on your own?
