Freelancer
Freelancers are self-employed, usually taking up short-term projects rather than long-term employment.
Freelancers might be fully independent, or be represented by an agency that markets their work to clients.
The challenge of freelancing is that it requires double mastery over craft and business.
Successful freelancers often graduate to being agency owners or highly focused specialists.
