Wow, thank you for reading this old post and commenting! I actually really needed to re-read it myself. Despite the message of this post, if you do have any questions about freelancing, let me know! I’m always happy to help people getting started even if I can’t offer much help.

i will probably come back when i have more specific questions! it’s a relief to hear an analysis of these kinds of job markets from someone who is actually considering the nuances of being in them. i think it also helps that i am a video/film person, so looking at similar logistical issues for an entirely different medium helps clarify my own feelings on them a bit.

i’m currently in college, so i still have some ability to pick whether i’m going to focus on angling for a staff job once i’m done or focus on playing the freelance game. it’s…weird. makes me feel less crazy to read this! i appreciate you offering to pass it forward. good luck on your own ventures.
