The writer Ellen Ruppel Shell is a critically acclaimed journalist, long time contributing editor for The Atlantic. Ellen explores the disparity between productivity and wages, the top earners versus the majority and the innate nature of work as identity to every one of us. According to her, Americans as a people must change their way of determining what constitutes a good job and even upend the concept of work as they know it.

The author Farai Chideya is a reporter, political and cultural analyst, and educator. Farai tries to answer the question of: how do you prepare, respond, evolve for the changing landscape of work? You remember that defiant cry from childhood: “You’re not the boss of me!” Well, a question we should ask ourselves in adulthood is, who is the boss of me?

Written by Emma Gannon, who is a Princes Trust Ambassador, a columnist of COURIER magazine and a lecturer at the Condé Nast College and has been published everywhere from the Telegraph to Teen Vogue. A social media at heart and a podcaster, Emma teaches that it doesn’t matter if you’re a part-time PA with a blog, or a physio who runs an online jewellery store in the evenings — whatever your ratio, whatever your mixture, we can all channel the entrepreneurial spirit and be jack of all trades.

Written by Olga Mizrahi, instructor at the University of California. Freelancers need to clearly answer “Why choose you?” so that they stand out in the new economy.
