Mary Kearl is a professional freelance writer and marketing consultant. As a freelancer, she enjoys being able to make more money, choose her own hours, and be an active caregiver to her toddler. If the PRO Act in its current form passes in the Senate, Kearl says she could potentially most of her clients and income. Professionally, I've never been happier since becoming a freelancer. Sure, there are the occasional stresses of chasing down payments and the ongoing uncertainty of not knowing exactly how much I'll earn, but as someone who thrives when I'm learning and being challenged, the pros outweigh the cons.
