Jacob Wells: I need help deciding between doing what I want to do and doing what I am good at and provides for me.

  • Find the middle of the extreme viewpoint of following your passion or not, depending on what is the best fit for you.
  • Earn your way to the point where you can make choices on the jobs you want to take, but don’t allow yourself to be exploited and burned out.
  • Save as much as you can to buy yourself a runway to pursue other avenues as you go through the exploratory phase of your career.
  • Acknowledge the realities in the freelance world such as cashflow issues and uncertainties, so plan accordingly.
