Business Outlook

Pros

At first you'll start slow, once you start building your skillset and clientele you will start getting more work and more hours. Be sure to create a contract with your clients. Can be your own boss!

Cons

Can be hard to have steady hours at first. Create a calendar so you and your clients can look at that and remain consistent.
