What path should I choose?
I am now 27. I completed my BA in 2020 with 5.7 CGPA and dropped my MA course midway in 2022. It's shame that I am sitting idle in these last 3.5 years and still not able to figure out what to do. I just hesitate and keep on thinking before trying to attempt. I have no work experience. I am a clueless person who has no idea about my strengths and what am I capable of. Actually I am stuck between choices. I don't know whether should I crack govt exams like bank, SSC or do something else? Hesitant to crack govt exam because process of selection is long and success rate is low. I am hesitant to do other things due to no work experience and skills. I fear being harassed and scolded at job. I literally have no hobbies other than watching reels on Instagram, youtube shorts and making expenses tracker on google sheets. I cannot even drive any vehicle that I could take up gig work. I am also a person who doesn't wants to compromise. I don't want to leave my city because I cannot share room with others. I also don't want to commute very long distances if within my city. I also have to look after my dog. I don't want to do any course now since I am currently in dire need of money.

What is involved in becoming a freelance editor?
I love writing, and I enjoy helping others make their writing better as well, so when I heard a talk on freelance editing, I thought "This sounds like something I could do!" However, although I feel confident that I could do the actual editing part, I don't know much about how I would get started or prepare for it. I'm still in college at the moment; should I take some business classes for electives, since freelance editing would mean I would essentially be running my own business, or would other classes be more helpful? What do you have to know (besides editing skills) to become a successful freelance editor? Any tips would be much appreciated. Thank you so much! #editing #writing #freelance #writing-and-editing

For instance; ● Are there any things a current or previous freelancer would recommend having on a resume? ● What kinds of pieces would you recommend having in a portfolio? ● Are there any specific sites or places that you would recommend getting familiar with? ● Any tips and tricks you used to increase your number of possible clients?
