More than a fourth of the U.S. is now officially part of the freelance gig economy, a recent report indicates.
In the future, more and more people of all ages and ethnicity will declare their independence from the 9-to-5 daily corporate grind for the freedom, autonomy, and self-determination that the freelance, gig economy lifestyle brings.
On Thursday, November 17, @ JFK Film Magnet, Evette Vargas placed her project “Dark Prophet” under the microscope for our JFK Film magnet students and faculty from the Los Angeles Unified School District, to examine the moving parts and the career pathways that binds this project’s success. Also on tap was social impact guru, Filiberto Gonzalez, who provide the students with some wisdom and encouragement for their entrepreneurial journey.
