How does one become a computer consultant?

I've noticed that many supply houses around here give discounts to
consultants and dealers.  Some sell only to dealers and consultants.
I know that a dealer can identify himself as one with a dealer's
license number, but how about a consultant?

I remember reading an article suggesting one could use his/her
computing skills to do free-lance consulting work by leaving calling
cards with computer dealers.  I'd thought that since I've got a light
load this quarter, I could do something on the side to earn a little
extra cash...(and getting a dealer's price on my next VGA 386 system
would be nice too :-)

Oh, BTW, if you wish to E-mail rather than post, I can be reached at
barber@beowulf.ucsd.edu, *NOT* barber@odin.ucsd.edu.  I will be
getting my own account soon (probably today)...
