Pros and 5 Cons of Being a FreeLancer

As far as petrol prices or the gas prices are concerned, they are rocketing towards the sky and I must say that it is really becoming difficult to manage the job properly. The situation is even worse if you are asked to work under someone who is not managing properly or not paying more attention towards you. You can really feel sometime that you are forced to under perform some time. All these are making the freelancing jobs very popular among the people. You will find only few who are happy with their jobs.
However as other jobs there are some pros as well as some cons about the freelancing jobs. I would like to list both pros as well as cons about freelancing.

Pros:

1.You are your own boss:
As far as your office job was concerned you were governed by your boss. However as far as freelancing is concerned you are your own boss. No body else will guide you. You are free to make your own way.

2.No need to be worried about driving time:
I once thought that I should do some research on driving time. I was really astonished that every day I was loosing around two hours and a monthly bill of $400 on driving to office. However as far as freelancing is concerned you will really feel free from all these burdens.

3.Take the office with you wherever you want to take it:
As far as freelancing is concerned you are free to work from any place. You can even work at a coffee shop.

4.Be more creative:
You will really be free to think in your own way. I really doubt whether you enjoyed this luxury in the office. However, I am quiet sure that you will really love to have this luxury.

Cons:

1.When the payment will be done?
This is a biggest question which really creeps in mind. You are really never confirmed that when you will be paid. As far as office job was concerned you were confirmed that you will be paid at every weekend.

2.No incentives:
If you work for any company in the office then its quiet sure that you will get regular perks and incentives. However as a freelancer you will only get the amount which is fixed for the project.

3.Distractions:
Either you are at home or you work from office it is quiet sure that you will have to face some distraction. This really affects your performance.

4.How long will the work take:
You really do not know that when will the job be over.

5.Job security:
You can be jobless for many months.

I must tell you that freelancing can be a fruit or poison for. However if you have patience then it will really be fruitful for you.
