Freelancing is like being an emaciated lion living in the Serengeti, on the brink of starvation, and always looking for food to survive the next day.

Working in corporate is like being an injured gazelle walking through a whole herd of those same emaciated, hungry lions with the only escape route being a river full of hungry crocodiles.

Perfect description btw.
So what happens we stay down and enjoy being eaten by the T. Rex?
I know this may not be popular opinion, but if it seems impossible to beat capitalism, can't we join it?
I mean think about it, you can't get a job as a freelancer because they want to see proof of work (case study) but you're a beginner so that only makes your work 50x harder. You can't get a job at a cooperate worker because they need you to have 2-5 years of experience in a job you're literally a beginner at.
So how do you do it? How are you supposed to survive?
