been thinking about this a lot lately. about to finish my phd (fingers crossed!) it's taken me a really long time and been unbelievably stressful/awful - the process made me realize I could never handle being a professor afterwards (not that this was my goal in the first place, but it is the road one usually takes post-graduation). I really like being able to work from home / on my own time, so freelancing stuff is great. I do video editing here and there and plan to get more into coding and programming once I'm done with school. hopefully I can make enough $ doing that to support my writing/performance work (the REAL work!)
