Freelance Projects
If you work as a freelancer, then, projects represent the elements that earn you a living. People who create a real business starting from freelancing will be happy to list all the reasons that justify their form of work as the most suitable. However, from an objective point of view, there are good bits and bad bits about freelancing. Let's see what we can tell both for and against freelancing projects. First of all, independence is the first thing that comes with freelancing. The client becomes your boss but not in the way things work for the regular day jobs. With projects, one has a lot more control over the work life, and there is always the satisfaction that you work for yourself and all the money gets into your pocket. You are the one to determine how busy the schedule is and how you make progress with your career. More money: this is another advantage that comes with projects. Working less but earning more; the hourly rate for a freelancer is usually higher than that of an employee. Then, the variety of the projects makes this kind of business very challenging and exciting. You can choose the projects and feel rewarded with the ones you accept as interesting and doable.

Last but not least, projects also bring flexibility. Freelance work is no longer confined to an office. Some work form home, others prefer taking their laptop everywhere they can, while others try to organize a good office setup and minimize the level of distractions that could impair concentration. Depending on the nature of the projects, you should be able to work from everywhere more or less. But let us get a look at the dark aspects of freelancing. Lack of job security is the first downside people find to projects. The fact that you have to find ongoing work and sometimes be on a constant run for a project, could make life a bit more difficult. Then, there is also the challenge of self management with all the bookkeeping, the taxes, the health insurance and contract negotiations. Finally, you may find it more difficult to take a day off, or go on vacation when you depend on projects for a living. The problem here is in the huge responsibility because the buck stops with you if you take a break. You earn your bread or you don't! Competition is tough, there is not always enough work and things could alter for the worst! Who's talking about a vacation?
