Anyone who has a skill, a hidden talent or simply an interest, can be a freelancer. Even if you don't have a college degree it is possible to succeed in freelancing, it is just a matter of having the discipline and dedication to get the job done. Once you find that space where you can work without distractions, and under your own rules, creativity can start to flow. One of the characteristics of freelancing is just that: the ability to find what works best for you to deliver the best results. There's no one behind you pressuring you to do extra tasks that distract you from your goals, no peers discouraging your process, it's just you and yourself. It might sound a little lonely but the reality is that being your own boss has its wonders. Knotted with not having to answer to anyone, there's also the fact that you can jump from project to project to the extent that not a single day is boring. No office job has that flexibility, only you do.
So, to resume, the characteristics of a freelancer are: expert in a specific area, skilled and quick decision maker, works on the schedule they choose, works on projects they choose, works alone, are their own boss and works on several projects which gives them both experience in various industries and ways of working.
