Stable income: Somewhat stable

I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 because while there is a decent baseline of income potential, it can be unreliable at times. Earnings can fluctuate based on location, demand, and personal availability, making it less predictable than a traditional job. However, it’s not as unstable as a 2, since many people do manage to earn a consistent income, but it lacks the predictability to be rated a 4.
