A recent study by Upwork shows that 28% of skilled knowledge workers currently operate as freelancers, with an additional 36% of full-time employees considering making the switch. Experts say the appeal lies in flexibility, independence, and the ability to choose clients and work hours.

“Freelancing allows people to become their own small business, which is a huge draw for professionals tired of traditional corporate structures,” said career consultant Lisa Hammond. However, professionals are advised to evaluate demand for their services and develop a clear business plan before leaving full-time roles.
