The freelance corporate, catalogue or commercial editorial gigs are once every one to 3 months, and those paydays are 30 - 45 days later.
I've seen some MUA's in the industry turn to sales, (retail, own-brand, and MLM - Avon, Mary Kay, Senegence, etc), and some turn to teaching.
No... The answer I am looking for, is the S.O. that already has a regular 9-5 job outside of the industry that supports his/her MUA S.O. during the off season or downtime.
