These 3 Freelance Jobs Pay Higher Than Full Time Jobs
Wouldn’t it be a dream come true to get the job you have always wished for, get paid well and do it all while being home, in a cafe, watching a movie, playing with your kids?
No, this is not wonderland but the world of freelance work! For decades, there has been a debate raging between full-time jobs and freelance jobs. Questions are constantly asked and comparisons made between the two. Neither is perfect; both have their advantages and drawbacks. While full-time jobs don’t leave much time for recreational activities and time with family, freelance jobs leave little room for interaction with peers and colleagues because one is working virtually and/on a temporary basis.
However, freelance work helps you make an extra buck if you are doing it part-time, but also if you are pursuing it full-time. After all, who doesn’t want more money? According to Business News Daily, “in the 2019 study, ZipRecruiter compiled data from freelance writing jobs according to the company’s “ZipEstimate.” According to the new data, if the average freelancer works 36 hours a week at a rate of $31 per hour, they would make $58,032. Compared with the numbers from the 2015 Payoneer study, that’s about a 49% increase over four years.”
These statistics indicate that freelancing jobs need not be frowned upon as far as their lucrativeness is concerned. Moreover, this past year has been a win-win for freelance, remote-based, virtual jobs with many businesses converting to a work from home model.
