The Problem with Freelancing – Millenial Problems Edition

So it would seem we are at least ticking the boxes of working more for less, facing more insecurity, and we are increasingly taking on the costs of competing on the market ourselves. But have we in fact become human capital? And are we being driven further away from each other through competition and individualism? Is loneliness the defining feature of our generation?

Chief Editor’s Note: Rocky Slopes

Amongst the crowded landscape of ridges tumbling endlessly over each other, it seems that one could hide the grandest of secrets and find the most glorious of adventures. For me, the view has always been worth the climb. And so I trust my feet and keep on climbing.

Flashback to my high school years spent in an English-speaking class inside a Finnish high school: I can recollect vaguely feeling that bilingualism tends to operate in a specific systematic way… Reading through the linguistic data on bilingualism during my University years felt like being let in on a big secret that I had known about all along, but only now my eyes were opening to the full truth.
