Freelance vs Full-time

Every creative will have to make the decision between full-time (salary) work and freelance or part time work. There are pros and cons on each side but the final decision comes down to the needs and wants of the individual.

Even 7 years later this video is still very relevant, thank you so much for this! I now know exactly what I wanna do

Definitely in this rut right now. Just comforting to hear others in the same position. Appreciate this video. You have a soothing voice too, hope that isn't strange to say!

I am currently thinking of doing free lance for filming, whether it is for weddings, music videos, short films, etc. I agree with both sides of full-time and free lance, but you exaggerated with the whole "just to make ends meet" part in free lance. You doing at least one project a week can have you make way more than a regular 9-5 job and if not close to it, and that is in just one week. Yes, I agree with that you have to hustle and grind for more work after that project and if not, even in between one as well. If you are good at your craft, you can mostly definitely make a good living with at least 2-3 projects a month. If you manage your money the right way, you can make a hell of a living. Overall great video.

Thanks for the input! Been debating on what to do, because the regular 9-5 job has the least amount of satisfaction. Maybe freelance for fun and put those funds towards a savings or for retirement.

Hard decisions. I suppose it depends where are you in life. Right now, freelance would be ideal for me but sadly I don't have any creative skill set or experience.

Meaning if i work freelance there is no assurance that how it will be last long because you don't have contract and on the spot you will be fire or replace is that it?

That hustle n grind u refer to can be applied to all line is u will suffer if u choose to do it alone. If u had a team, problem solved!

Do we get to decide when is our time schedule on a freelance job? But just finish it to deadline.
