Contract Worker - Freelancing Experiences

Working on Your Terms

by Rico on February 23rd, 2007

Leave it a freelance writer like Anne Wayman to articulate what’s great about freelancing:

The truth is, if I had an office job, I’d probably be out most of next week too, or at least working half days. Instead, as a freelancer, I’m getting back to work, albeit slowly, at a fairly rapid rate. Of course, I don’t get sick pay, but my income hasn’t stopped; I’ve slipped some deadlines. I find this a much better way to live and work than any other, except maybe inherited wealth.

That’s what I love about Contract Work. You get to work on your own terms. No supervisors breathing down your neck. You can work at the crack of dawn or ply the graveyard shift. You can even work in your birthday suit if you wanted to (though I wouldn’t recommend it).

But finding success at contract work requires being more responsible. Then again, what’s wrong with that?
