I am a freelancer.Or at least I have set out to be one.I got some translation gigs,which earned me little but earned me some new contacts and brightened up my resumé.Do I want to be a freelance translator?

Even if one site costs 5 $/ month, can you afford it? Remember there are many magazines whose you probably pay for the issues (research,remember? ), books and….oh,you have your regular social needs and heaven forbid what if you want to travel and see the world? It is disappointing to notice that the site that seems most useful comes with a price tag…
