Soliciting Free Advice

November 17, 2011 at 12:07 pm (Uncategorized)

Trying to decide whether to apply for a "job job" I am fully qualified for, copyediting kids' books.  Pros: unprecedented financial security, IF I got it. Cons: probability of being rejected for my age, but if not: confinement to an office for first time in 40 years; loss of short-lived freedom to travel and write; giving up on promising specialty as freelance science copy editor before giving it a full-fledged shot. Opinions?
