It has it's pluses and minuses, ups and down. You can make a lot of money but end up having to work a lot. You can work at home or wherever you want. You can wear whatever you want if you work off site. You don't have to listen to a boss, you're responsible for yourself. Networking is important. Your reputation is important. Make sure you save your loot. Don't go cheapo on office equipment. Get a nice office chair and dual monitors. You have to buy your own software now, Adobe Master Collection ain't cheap either, especially when they upgrade every frickin year. Charge what you're worth and stick to it no matter what. If you're okaaay at what you do, charge average rates. If you suck at what you do, do it for cheap or for free and learn more as you go. If you're great at what you do, charge a good amount but not too much, don't get greedy. Learn customer service if you've never had to do that before. Be professional at all times, even when the producer has their head up their arse. Read the dictionary and get a better vocabulary, speaking well goes a long way. Never burn bridges, no matter what. Everyone knows someone who knows someone who knows you.
