Freelance (4-8)
I believe the answer is:
self-employed
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">freelance</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for self-employed that I've seen before include "Working as freelance" , "Working for one's own benefit" , "Working for oneself only" , "Being one's own boss" , "Working for one's own business" .)
