Freelancing Thoughts

Hello all,
What might be some of your thoughts, those of you who have been in
business for yourselves, about freelancing, Architectural
Detailing(Mainly in the Millwork side of the trades) does this go on
often? Can one feasably have a design firm without an "Architect's
Degree"? or Sub-contracting Business that
services Millhouses Drafting needs? I would think with an Associates
degree
and trade experience that this is what I would Ideally strive toward..
Would this be considered a tech consulting type thing?
Or..... Am I confused about the market out there and looking thru
Rose colored glasses?
Just some thoughts..

Everyone I know who can do this sort of thing is either working for somebody
like an architect, interior designer, or furniture manufacturer

or

IS an architect, interior designer, or furniture manufacturer.

BTW, design and drafting are to different, if allied, things.

 

Oh Do I know that......LOL This might very well be the understatement
of the age. Thanks Michael I spent my whole woodworking Career
Looking at Blueprints....Some are Design nightmares Some are so
clever They need to be complimented....The mechanics of "Drafting" I
think could probably be taught
To anyone ...The design, Considering the Fabrication is a whole other
Concept
Agreed Whole heartedly!

 

Hello Brendan,

In

imho successful freelancing requires the ability to take risks and the
ability to deal with customers even more than technical skills.
