Freelance - Peter Mickleright
Today's guest speaker was by Peter Mickleright, a freelancer, who gave an in-depth presentation about freelancing. He talked about his experience as a freelancer, the skills you'll need to be a freelancer, the advantages and disadvantages about being a freelancer. His presentation really stuck to me and made me learn so much about freelancing as he touched on the topics that I was not familiar about. Despite, his presentation being very interesting and to some extent has made me consider freelancing as an option; I still feel that some of the disadvantages are striking to me e.g. clients not paying properly. I also feel that being a freelancer is a very independent way of living as you are responsible for everything, for instance when something goes wrong. Therefore, from that presentation, I feel that being a freelancer is not the path for me as of yet, as I feel that I need to learn more personal and professional skills before being a freelancer. With that being said, that is why I am aiming to get into the real world and to work in the creative industry so I will personally learn how it's like working in the industry. However, I am not closing my doors with the option of being a freelancer as I might go into that route when I have the certain skills and traits.
