6 New English from BBClearningenglish.com Hello, this is 6 Minute English from BBC Learning English.
I'm Georgina.
And I'm Rob.
Rob, what's the best job you've ever had?
Uh, well, this one, of course.
It's very creative with lots of variety.
Okay, any other reasons?
Well, yes, it's a permanent job, a staff job,
with regular income and a pension.
Yes, these things can be important,
but have you ever been freelance?
By that, I mean, working for yourself and selling your skills and services to different businesses.
Well, I worked as a paperboy once,
delivering newspapers,
but not really.
It's a risky way to earn an income.
It can be, Rob, but many people choose to or have to work as a freelancer to survive.
And that's what we're talking about in this programme.
