Walters,
In addition to the usual business and sales tax licenses, which vary from one locality to the next, many states require that you obtain a Professional Engineer (PE) Licence before you can do consulting, especially in areas involving public safety.

No i do electronic work i mean like upgrading IC's chips, transistors, resistors,capacitors , doing electronic work

I want to do electronic services repairing,rework,upgrades etc like freelancing jobs , being mobile with your tool chest in your car and going to peoples houses

But instead of them hiring me for $10 a hour i want to have a clip board and say i'm a indepedent contractor i will change your XXX these are my prices to do cleaning XXX , upgrading XXX, rework XXX, reparing XXX prices

How can i do this please?

I'm trying to get away from people hiring me for cheap money so i want to be more in control with a contract stating my prices like a electronic independent contractor does

example:
If your want your module re-capped it will cost you $200

Cleaning your module will cost $100

Instead of the employer or someone hiring me for a service saying i will pay you $10 a hour to re-capp my module and clean is and do it in 1 hour deadline

I want to be more in charge and tell them i'm not on a deadline or time clock

How can i be more in charge of my next new jobs ??

You may negociate a higher rate with your employer, or try to start your own business yourself.
