I want to quit my job and work freelance and research...?

It's time to start my own business. I have a salaried full-time job at a TV station in marketing, as a sales/research coordinator, where I've worked for 4 years. There's a high turnover rate in our department (many believe it's due to the dept. head, a combo of the boss from the movie "Office Space" and the pointy-haired boss in the Dilbert comics).

I have a B.A. in Communications, and I'm a thesis away from an M.A. in Communications, with an English/Literature Minor. I have 15 years of experience in Media, working in every form--print (as a reporter/photographer), media research, presentation & graphic design, radio/disc jockey, writing for the internet, working in television--both marketing and news. I have connections in every media, and have terrific skills in making great relationships with clients. I won awards for my work.

My finances are finally getting together, and I have this strong urge to go for it. Where can I market my freelance skills the best? Advice?

If you think you are ready than by all means establish an advertising company. That seems to be the direction you are headed. As a buisness consultant my recomendation is do what you love and love what you do which will always grow your future. God Bless!!! Remember: do not burn your bridges behind yourself, I mean be sure and leave insuring good feelings with all. Always be truthfull and respect all!
