Its not always fair but I feel like there are enough opportunities out there if you really MAKE them. Which is not easy!!!
I’m still figuring it out.
I don’t think you need a company to do anything like that. It may be easier to monetize with a company but if you experiment and put yourself out there you might find a way. Even just putting up a sign on a bulletin board or something like that. Freelance just means you don’t have a company or work for a company. It’s what I do except it doesn’t provide a visa so I need another way
I’m rooting for you!!
We have like a catalogue of professions that are allowed to call themselves freelancer in Germany. You can be self employed but still not considered a freelancer depending on what you plan to do.
But as you said, there are opportunities and probably just like you I'm trying to figure them out. And even though I may loose faith in actually being able to do what I love when staying where I'm at, paying the bills is priority as of now. So right now even cleaning in a hospital becomes an option to make ends meet 😅.
I am def not the typical career person, rather I was flowing with life as it came, but in a world of specializations, free spirits are a real commodity.
I think people who have an open eye and are flexible are worth more than the tunnel vision of a high degree of specialization. Not in every case of course, but in many cases thinking outside the box is an advantage in my opinion. But foresight and free spirit always go hand in hand with an open opinion, and not everyone likes that.
I really appreciate the restrictions that Japan has put on me. 7 years ago, the first time I left, I couldn’t handle them but the second time around they’ve helped push me to discover just how powerful I am and just how close my dreams really are.
I’m the same as you. I want to just flow. I’m SURE there is a way to get paid for that, and paid well enough so that you don’t have to think about the money. It can sure be a journey to find it, that's all.
You rock
You rock 😄 ! I appreciate your words and support.
So far I made it through life lol and I take it as it comes I guess. I just think that it's a little paradox. The so called "free world" is packed with rules and regulations. How free is the "free world" really? I don't mind certain rules and regulations when connected to common sense, ethics and moral, but human kind runs on different priorities mostly.
Oh well, "Schlimmer geht immer" - "It could always be worse" is my guiding principle 😂 .
