I was interviewing a woman today for an article I am working on about breaking into a specific field on a freelance basis. Instead of tips on how to get in once you have a degree, the article is geared towards people that have some professional experience and want to "go freelance."
I never wanted to be a freelancer when I graduated. To me, the priority was to get a full-time job. I think many grads today have the same aspiration--probably even more so due to the economy. With jobs so scarce, you are probably longing for a 40-hour-a-week gig. But there are some out there that are more business-minded than I was when I graduated and realize they can start their own business. Of course, there are pros and cons--the main issue going the entrepreneurial route is that you do not have any experience. That experience and just the industry know-how you gain on the job--at least for me--was priceless. I could never have been the writer I am today had I not worked as a reporter.
Do you have the freelance bug--or would you prefer to get a traditional job for a few years before you even think of starting your own business?
