Answer:
some pros of being a freelance artists are:
you have no boss, you are technically your own boss
you can choose how many hours to work and when to work
you can also choose from where to work (which is actually great in the current time)
the potential of earning more money exists
some cons of being a freelance artists are:
even though the potential of earning more exists, earnings are not stable
freelance workers get paid on a project basis, so that means that your working hours might be very long
freelancers receive no benefits, e.g paid vacation, health insurance, etc.
the risk of not being paid exists, but it is much lower if you use certain well known freelance websites
There are a lot of jobs available for freelance artists, although there are also a lot of freelance artists out there, e.g. animator and GFX artist, digital designer, etc.
your welcome :), I hope ur friend gets better!
