There is a stigma around the word "Freelance". When people hear that word, an emotion is going to ignite in their core-being. If you are a freelancer, you know what I'm talking about. You can almost feel what they are going to say--how they are going to respond. Their eyes light up with excitement or their mouths shrug to disdain.
How can such a simple answer to the question, "What do you do for a living?" inspire so many different emotions? Why do people react so differently? Surely, if someone asked you what you did for a living and you told them you were a doctor, there would be no disdain, there would be no shrugging and there would be no looking for the nearest exit.
With so many mixed emotions associated with freelancing, people ask, why should I become one? I have a few good reasons why.
