Freelancing is definitely the coming thing. This was inevitable given the power of the internet to connect workers to "employers" from any location. Also adding to the trend is the desire on the part of companies to get work done without having to add employees.
It will take some time for the kinks to get ironed out but this is going to be Yuge.
Manga = Freelancing?

Lesson one: how to file your quarterly taxes.
>>Millennials are moving into freelancing (which is a great idea).
Freelancing is great for people with a strong work ethic. It is terrible for people who want to make full-time money and benefits for part-time work. It also doesn’t work so well for people who can’t deliver a finished product on time. My experience with working with Millennials and managing them is that they lack the basic ethics to be successful freelancers without a safety net of the parents or government.
Their mantra has always been “we don’t work because there are no jobs”. Now there are job and they want to quit working.
But I also had become a conservative and understood government services cost ME money from my paycheck. Thus I'm curious how many millennials make the connection between their freedom and capitalism versus the financial weight of socialism and lack of personal freedom.
I’m sure companies love freelancing because they don’t need to offer health benefits. Then those millennials will demand “free” health benefits from the government.
