NOT YOUR 9-5 JOB
A portfolio career is ideal for people who want a creative career or those who need to fit work around raising children or caregiving, for example.
Instead of working a single full-time job, a portfolio career is about working at several paid activities at the same time. For example, someone who enjoys painting, writing and graphic design may make a living through each of these interests combined.
You can be fully independent (freelance, self-employed) or have a combination of self-employment and part-time jobs.
- Working 4 yourself
