of cos, u shd start off working (slogging) in some company to
gain the experience and skills... build ur portfolio..
when u gained a certain level of reputation and credentials, u can
start to find ur niche and path your own career...
as a "freelancer", u have to depend a lot on networking.... so that
ppl will refer jobs to u...
the initial stage is of cos not easy... u have to be good in
selling urself and ur expertise.... in the later stage, ppl will
know of u and they will come to u... or intro u to other ppl who
are looking for such services....
