Allen,

I guess it depends on what type of job your are looking for. If you are looking for a sales position go for a commission only and prove to them that you can do the job.
With your experience if you having a hard time finding a job, crank out a consulting company based on your expertise.

If you start your own than companies will only be paying you for the work you perform and they will look for experience
