[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741234, member: 23349"] Tired I hope he finds a way to get some work out of the house then! If he’s good at design he might try contacting some small or midsize ad or design agencies in your area to see if they use contract workers. A lot of them have a small number of full time staffers but then maintain a stable of contractors they reach out to for overflow work or certain kinds of projects. That may lead to other opportunities later on, which could be a mix at at home and office-based work. I’ve worked with a couple agencies locally and there are creative meetings and such, and one always offers me the option of coming in to work in their space if I want to. (I don’t want to.) for straight freelancers, there are also co-working places now where you share space with other professionals. There are some geared specifically for creative professionals. Of course, you have to be bringing in enough income to justify renting the space, but more social freelancers seem to really like the feeling of having ‘colleagues’ around them and the networking potential. You find flexible groups of creatives (designers, writers, programmers, PR people) that share client referrals and combine talents for different kinds of projects. My sister has MS and has a strong connection to her online gaming community also. I know those bonds can be very real and important, especially for those with limited mobility. She’s been playing with the same group for years now. [/QUOTE]
