Freelancing -- The New Path to Outsourcing ?
Being a part of a software company that started out of the entrepreneurial abilities of Amar, Sangeetha and Kishore, Poornam , I do think freelancing is good if it generates more jobs or if there is a long term perspective in the whole thing.
A freelancer or freelance worker is a self-employed person working in a profession or trade in which full-time employment is also common.
