7 Why People Choose Freelancing as a Career Option
1.Loss of Jobs
There are so many companies who will terminate your employment to cut the expense.
So, in the absence of this job freelancing becomes the lucrative and attractive option for
you.
2. Flexibility in Schedule
As a full time employee you have to be punctual about your in and out time during the
working hours.
While if you are working as a freelancer, you can work as per your convenient time. You
can take break any time and start working any time.
3. Be Your Own Boss
In the company you have to work under the seniors and your boss.
But as a freelance worker you are your own boss and you can work as per your strategy
and you will be the only responsible person for any outcome
4. Extra Income
Most of time people choose working as a freelance worker just to earn the extra money.
Its really not a bad idea. We have seen so many people who are making good money
compare to full time employment

Why Freelancing?
Pakistan is overproducing university graduates in the sense that as many as 50pc
of the local university graduates are either unemployed or not part of the labor
force. (http://www.dawn.com/news/1230668 )
According to Gary Swart (Ex CEO, oDesk now Upwork) One third of global
workforce may be hired online by the year 2020
http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/1913386202001/the-future-of-freelancing/
Edelman Berland, an independent research firm released findings of a survey
carried out for Upwork & Freelancers Union in July 2015. According to this survey
around 53.7 Million Americans are working as Freelancers which is around 34% of
the total workforce. (http://www.bloggerzarena.com/future-of-freelancing/)
The Intuit 2020 Report estimates that more than 40 percent of the workforce will
be independent, “alternative” workers: contractors, temporary employees or
freelancers by 2020.
