Today we welcome guest Melanie Lockert, a self-employed freelancer who quit her job in a non-profit to work for herself. She also happens to be one of our writers here at Personal Profitability (http://personalprofitability.com/author/melanielockert/). (http://personalprofitability.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/MelanieLockert-225x300.jpg)Melanie began her career with plenty of student debt after attending college in California and graduate school at NYU in New York City. She moved out to Portland, Oregon hoping for the best, but found the job market leaving her wanting more. After struggling to find a non-profit job with a steady salary, she walked away to pursue her own online income dreams, where she now generated a full time income. You can find Melanie's work on this site (http://personalprofitability.com/author/melanielockert/), at her own popular and growing blog, Dear Debt (http://deardebt.com/), and many client sites around the web.
