Since I am graduating and have loans to pay back an unsteady paycheck wouldn't suffice.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964550861701868427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-36068169629080139572011-02-16T08:11:23.044-08:002011-02-16T08:11:23.044-08:00I like the idea of the freelance journalist.

I didn't really know it could be a primary job, but it sounds like something I would be interested in doing since there are many positives.David Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17527953684210419527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-19542614021539470802011-02-15T20:36:22.506-08:002011-02-15T20:36:22.506-08:00Freelancing is definitely something I would be int...Freelancing is definitely something I would be interested in, but I always considered it a more secondary, on-the-side kind of job to get extra money and make connections/build reputation.Ben Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11041611628244091593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1560585832214320333.post-14066294474413704052011-02-15T19:02:24.841-08:002011-02-15T19:02:24.841-08:00It would be very exciting to be a freelance journa...It would be very exciting to be a freelance journalist. However, I am concerned with the drawbacks of freelancing. When a journalist doesn't have a steady paycheck, making a living can be difficult. For example, my cousin is a very good writer and started out freelancing in Africa. As a freelance journalist it was harder for him to get information with no connection to a particular institution or media outlet. Now he has accepted a job as a national corespondent and is enjoying the stability. With his job he is also able to freelance on other fronts as well.Maddie Boswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04289712479599624459noreply@blogger.com
