I left my teaching job to become a freelance writer. I doubled my income in just 4 months.
Briefly

After a decade in elementary education, I desired a flexible job to be present for my kids, leading to a more balanced life as a freelance writer.
I entered education to be a rare male role model for students. Unfortunately, the pay and teaching politics pushed me to seek a new path.
My wife's long working hours made me prioritize family; I sought a way to earn while remaining home, ultimately transitioning to freelance writing.
While initially disillusioned by journalism, I revisited writing as a freelancer on Upwork, hoping it could provide financial contribution while keeping family ties strong.
