Freelancing full-time

[marchmadnessallseason]

Do any of you know of people who teach and freelance? Teaching at the college level seems like such a flexible profession that you could easily have time to freelance on the side. I'm considering grad school, and once that's over I've thought about trying to teach as an adjunct prof. at the small/community college level part-time and freelance part-time.

Is that feasible?

I'm actually thinking about doing that, too, depending on if I go to grad school once I graduate in two years. Good thing you brought it up, because I had been wondering the same thing.

Aren't you still working for the demons who run the industry?

I've lost thousands of dollars over the years from websites, magazines and even newspapers who have stiffed me on freelance gigs...

Speaking of which, is there any kind of action that can be taken here? I have a buddy who's getting screwed left and right and neither of us can think of anything else to do short of take a battering ram to their front doors.

Small-claims court.

If court doesn't work, start spreading their names out there.

ask for a face-to-face with the publisher and have documentation of everything you are owed.
