Freelancing is my passion and I want to do it but my parents tell me that what I do now is haven't any social identity so they want me to do a job. What should I tell them?. So far I get some success especially with cpa( 2018=$7K). My graduation will complete in this year.
 
You call this success? Pls dear listen to your parents.
LOL. In my Country even first class Govt offers can't earn $7K in a year.
 
Where do you live? Do you think you can turn this into a life-long job? Do you enjoy it? These are all questions that need to be answered first before you can make your final choice.
If you think you can scale it up and wanna do it then show your parents your income, tell them what you do and hope for the best. If you wanna stay on the safe side you start studying and do freelancing on the side.

Honestly, i would always do choice no. 2 - Not knowing what your average salaray in your country is and what your age is, its pretty difficult to get a good answer but its never wrong to have something in your backpocket IF the freelancing route fails on you someday. And trust me, there will be those times. And they are not gonna be easy....

Thanks. I an 23 and will complete graduation in this year. I enjoy it like a girlfriend :D
What should I put in my backpocket? A job or freelancing ??
 
Dude is saying he earns more than government officials do in his country and you are telling him to go get a 9-5 which will yield him 1/3 of that :D
Keep scaling what you are doing rn and don't get a job.

With having something in the backpocket is a degree. Just imagine your account on the Freelancing site gets banned, or something else comes up and you are back to "0" - Then you have to start all over again, you know.
At the end of the day it is what you decide what your life will be. If you enjoy it, if you think you can make something out of it - For the love of god, go for it. But beware that there will be hurdles along the way.
 
Since you said you're in final year of graduation, plz finish it at any cost. Otherwise you'll regret it later.
Regarding job, its your choice. As you already have taste of some IM success, you can scale it. If it did not work out, you can try for job later.

listen to your parents until they realize you're stable and independent, that means do your freelance work along with the real job. Show them how much you earned from the past and invest your money in any passive income stream then jump full time on your passion i.e freelancing work. :)

How can I tell my parents about *social identity* as almost nobody can't understand what I do in my Country :D and no parents will give their daughter to me as a wife :D

Good idea, but I need to study so hard to get a job ( it is very hard to get a job in my Country and it need bribery in 99% times ) that I think I can't able to do freelancing.

don't confuse yourself, it is just a year, keep studying hard then get a job. Then do your freelance work.
 
Tell them it's your life and you want to live it your way
 
I would be in a similar situation in about 2 years with or without the money.(currently I have none but I only have plans).
People will ask what you do and freelancer is something most people wouldn't want to hear. It would probably confuse and when you do it from your home they will surely think it might be some shit.
So what to do now?
If your already earning money, read some new methods invest in them and get a new source of income. You can't depend on CPA for rest of your life. You need to have some good skills in where there is a lot of opportunities.
Once you gain some skills and have working methods that gets you income turn it into a company.
That way you will have an identity. You could tell everyone that you own a company which is an identity.
I wish I were at least in your position now. Currently I have some investment but I can't risk it to try new methods since I don't have a stable income.

An IT farm will be a good idea where I can teach some kids about freelancing, cpa etc?
