Yes. Freelance editing, writing, transcription.
I still file 1099, but I have an online "storefront" for my services.

I have an associates degree in automotive technology.

I work for NBC/Universal as an Encoding Operator. Related? not at all.

Over qualified? no, i'm always learning new things as the field is constantly changing. How do you learn new things? By being employed.

My education is pretty much useless in most fields, so no, I don't really feel over qualified. My buddy got a BS from Michigan and has been working at starbucks for the last 6 years. I also have a couple friends with no degrees making pretty close to six figures. :shrug:
