MJ:

No, freelancing is not for everybody. That’s because most people want the security of a full time job with work handed to them by someone. They need the structure of a workplace.

But if you can make the transition and learn how to generate paying work and create your own structure, freelancing offers more security, more money, and far more freedom than full time employment.

Is freelancing for everybody? Almost everyone I know is aiming to be a full-time freelancer (I’m one of them). It’s usually the joy of supposed ‘freedom’ that lures the multitude. But freedom is relative. As you mentioned there are still contracts and ‘employers’ to deal with.

So where’s the free in freelancing?

Sure. If you’re working on your own, you’re freelance.

Interesting post… I’ve worked freelance once, I guess. Does that really count? ‘Cause I only did it as a sideline, in addition to my 9-to-5.

I never knew where the word “freelancer” came from. It’s quite interesting.

It also indicates that freelancing is a real job and requires the same skills as a full time employee. But the skill set often extends beyond many employees who do not have to run a business or sell themselves to many employers in diverse industries on a daily basis.

Employers sometimes view freelancers as people who are not able to get a full time assignment.

That may be true in some cases, but not all freelancers who prefer the thrill of generating many assignments with tremendous diversity.

I can say that I have never had the inclination, time or opportunity to get bored as a freelancer.

Great post.
