Ask Can you freelance in a field that did not exist when you started your career?

[Edward22]

Careers are changing in ways that were hard to predict even ten years ago. Some of the most in-demand freelance skills today, like AI prompt writing or short-form video editing, barely existed as job categories not long ago. People who started in completely different fields are now building freelancing income in areas they learned on their own. It raises a real question about how much your original background actually matters. Have you ever moved into a freelancing field that had nothing to do with what you first trained for?
