    I am student at Oxford Brookes which is a good ranked UK university, and I am a permanent resident here since childhood. Your podcasts still provide way more detailed information on different industries than any video or podcast I ever heard, and it’s actually interesting how on first glance we see a successful man and he break his life story down about how he got to the point he is now. As bachelor student it gives a glance about how actually things work in the world and how we could be successful in the outside world like your guests.

    Excellent discussion! one of the things that I would like to point out here for Graphic Designers is that they can scale up their businesses through the Digital Downloads business model. They can make designs and sell on Etsy or Amazon as digital prints. Since the product will be digital, no shipping will be required. Similarly, freelance article writers can make their blogs on topics that they're passionate about. It takes less than $100 and you can generate thousands by learning through KZread videos. Just get a bit of hang on SEO writing, and you'll be good to go.

    There are already automatic logo generators. Also Canva has replaced the need of having graphic designer. Similarly there is canva for videos called Kapwing. There will be no need for video editors in near future. These patty jobs are dying already. Unfortunately the govt is late like always. Govt vision is like create freelancers doing graphics, wordpress installs, data entries, call centers and stuff like this, that will die in next 2 years probably.

I do get gigs and money but I don't know I've got lazy and have no energy left as before. I don't oppose freelancing, infact everyone should try it. Its the best thing that can happen to any young dude but guys do join co-working spaces atleast. Co-working spaces are like alot of ideas at steroids. Your vision will become broader.

    @@samirkumar9908 ​ @_ Samir _ Well, I will choose both for sometime. Engaging with organizations makes you well organized. You grow with people. Freelancing is more a comfort zone where people do earn alot but often reluctant to accept remarkable challenges. At the end of the day I'd suggest you mix it up over the years. But do not except anything exceptional out of you after 35 years most. (if you're a coder) because this age you'd want passive income. Always plan for creating a "solution as service."
