Do you care if your mom is proud of your job title (or the actual work)? Do you think about free-lancing from time to time and wish to know more about it? Are you curious about people who don?t get a ?permanent and full-time? like you do and seem to be still doing okay? Do you want to try free-lancing to get some extra income? ...
