You will need to bring the hot (black) wire up from before the switch,
through the light box and down to your outlet. In the light box bring
down the white and ground wire to your outlet also. Thus you have wired
around the switch for the outlet.

I know how to wire it and have it only "hot" when the light switch is turned on. My question is How to wire it so it is hot whether the light switch is on or not.
