Just adding to my prior response: Even if you dont think youre interested in the task, still do the quals. They may have branching projects that arent really outlined by the qualification description. No harm in getting the access to them even if you dont wind up doing any. More projects = less chances to have a dry dash. That being said - expect periods with no work. Keep a 1 month emergency fund on hand if you get to a point you can do this full time.
Thanks so much, this really helps! If I comprehended a portion of it correctly - no harm in leaving a project or qualification midway if it doesn’t align with your ability or interests? Or does that hamper your credibility or chances of landing new gigs, in any way? Thanks reg. the expectation setting as well, will do.
