Is being a gig worker worth all the cons mentioned? or do you still find being a traditional employee more appealing?
If you have less needs, and some savings to manage your needs when you are out of work (assuming, you'll get work after little break), then you will do fine as gig worker I suppose.
If you have a family to maintain, traditional jobs are comparatively more stable, and they come with perks (i.e, insurance and savings).
i guess the right answer is if you are just living by yourself and you are sustaining yourself only then being a gig worker is quite the ideal situation i always see a lot of young people being gig workers nowadays and they are often living alone
they should still take care of their insurance and other things even if no company will do it for them
