  • 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.
