Freelance consultant
You may think that consulting is only for former CEO’s but you should think again. If you have a skill set and can help organizations solve their problems, then you may consider doing this job as a freelance consultant.
Legal contract
When you agree to perform services for a client, you are entering into a legal contract — you promise to do the work, and the client promises to pay you for it. As an independent contractor, you can avoid trouble by putting client agreements in writing.
Too much freedom
As a freelancer, you have more flexibility and less constraints than an employee. Practically you can do everything you want. But having too much freedom may be a little overwhelming as you are tempted to have more fun than to work.

While there were a number of interesting findings, the statistic that really stood out to me was that 95% of freelance writers are happier now then they were before they started freelancing.
