Is the technological age a good time to become a freelancer?

Now is a good time, but it doesn't mean that freelancing is a good choice.

It is a good time because it is better than before, not better than working in a non-freelance job. No matter in which generation, freelancing is not a profession that everyone can engage in, because it requires stronger personal ability and more accurate long-term vision, not just relying on personal professional ability.

In the age of science and technology, there are more opportunities for freelancing than before. In the past, the media industry was no longer a government monopoly. As long as everyone has a computer, everyone can become a media person. As long as they have a mobile phone, everyone can become a Vloger. However, it is precisely because there are more opportunities and more people involved in freelancing that the competition of freelancing today is not easier than before.

Not everyone is suitable for choosing freelancing. The "freedom" of freelancing does not mean relaxation. Don't just focus on the glamorous appearance of freelancers. They also need to work hard, but their work has changed from being responsible for their superiors to being directly responsible for themselves. Without certain self-discipline and willpower, you can't be a qualified freelancer.

Fortunately, with the advent of the era of science and technology, the threshold of freelancing has also been lowered. Everyone can explore freelancing after work as a hobby or part-time job. Instead of resigning and putting all your eggs in one basket as before.

If you dream of becoming a freelancer, you might as well try it bravely after studying and working. Now is indeed the best time to engage in freelancing in history, but just trying at a lower cost does not mean that you can succeed simply.
